To get it to write again I had to replace the piston assembly (broken part, glued shut), put a new cork on the replacement, calibrate it to the length of this barrel, and put a new nib.
The nib, at least temporarily is a Kaweco Palladium, which is one size too small for this pen, but it writes well, until I find another 14K nib that is a tad bigger.
