After 25 years I found my MB and Cross collection
After 25 years, I found my MB and Cross pens collection. About six fountain pens and maybe seven ball point pens. They were stored in an old box on top of my brother's garage all these time - all inside their original boxes.

Now I need to bring them to a MB and Cross repair centers for service. This is exciting.

The Cross pens, a mixture of ballpoints and fountain pens.
All of which needs major cleanup

So it's not an easy nib replacement which you can do on your own?
