Stipula 22 Repair

[apple320]

After having this pen repaired 3 times and it broke again I was getting set to throw it out when I thought I might be able to install a converter in it. I had to make up a new body as the converter was a bit longer than the piston unit but now I have a pen I love using. No more urges to throw it out.

Three cheers for a sustainability approach - Better photos that earlier post for clarity. Fountain pens seem to be about feel, and sounds like you have a great feel for this one now.

Bravo. I like the "22" at the top. Nice touch.

I did not make this pen. All I did was turn a new black body and remove the piston unit that kept breaking and drilled it out to take the converter.

It was made by Stipula in Italy.
