What a shame, I really liked this pen, was working on the nib because it seemed crooked and misaligned…

Can I fix the feed or find a replacement one or is this thing dead?

    Do they make new feeds for vintage pens 😅

      For the really big name popular ones, probably if you look hard enough. Even so, you may be able to bodge something in that’s close enough to work.

      Despite outward appearances, fountain pens are pretty mechanically crude. If you can get the feed to go in the hole and press against the underside of the nib, plus have its length maintain the ability to fit your cartridge in the body, and not fall out in the process you’re good to go. It might not look like original anymore, but at least it ought to work.
