FAQs

What is the nib made of?

The nib is made of a hand-crafted Au 585 / 14 K solid gold and is rhodium-coated.

How do I clean the fountain pen?

Flush the nib and feed with cool water regularly. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to dry the exterior. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What type of ink should I use?

This pen is compatible with standard bottled fountain pen inks. It is recommended to use high-quality inks and avoid highly viscous or particulate-heavy inks.

Is this pen suitable for left-handed writers?

While designed for right-handed writers, many left-handed individuals find gold nibs adaptable with slight adjustments in writing angle and pressure.

What does 'Meisterstück' mean?

'Meisterstück' is a German word meaning 'Masterpiece,' reflecting the pen's high quality and iconic status.

How much ink can the piston filler hold?

The piston filler mechanism typically holds approximately 1.5-2 ml of ink, which is a generous capacity for a fountain pen.

Does the pen come with ink?

Fountain pens typically do not come with ink. You will need to purchase bottled ink separately.

Troubleshooting

Pen not writing or skipping

Ensure the pen is properly inked and the piston is engaged. Clean the nib and feed by flushing with cool water. Check for any dried ink or blockages in the feed.

Ink leakage

Verify that the blind cap (piston knob) is securely tightened. Ensure the pen is stored horizontally and not subjected to pressure or extreme temperature changes.

Scratchy writing feel

The nib may have accumulated debris. Gently flush the nib and feed. Ensure you are writing with the correct angle and pressure for gold nibs.

Difficulty filling ink

Ensure the piston is fully extended before submerging the nib. Turn the piston knob slowly and steadily to draw ink into the reservoir.
