Welcome.  What are you restoring?

[peecee57]

Hi, it's a Glass nibbed pen made in Germany called a Bastings Pneumatic. I know nothing about this pen as i've not been able to fing any information on Bastings pens. Other than cleaning a blocked ink feed and replacing the sac and giving it a general clean and polish there is not a lot more i can do restoration wise, the clip seems moulded into the cap so i'll have to clean it the best i can.
