Boston, a Dutch piston filler

Boston, a Dutch brand, with a semi-flex 14ct nib. Looks like one of many generic piston filler models of that era, with a beautiful hatched pattern on the brown ink window.

I got this with the piston filler mechanism not working. Took it apart and manufactured a replacement cork. The nib also needed some work to get rid of the initial scratchiness. Now writes smooth with a bit of pleasant feedback.
