@penfount oh hello! I have a vintage piston-fill pen that fits my hand beautifully but has a small crack in the barrel (or hmm maybe that’s the section?) juuuuust so that I get an inky index finger. I’m handy and not fussy about authenticity; is this likely to be something I can repair myself with the right weld/solvent, or had I better take it to a specialist? It’s a Montblanc 227, and I’m located in Pittsburgh, PA, USA

Alternately, know any modestly-priced modern pens with about the same form factor?
