Surprise, surprise, more pen cleaning. Now it's the WingSung 3008 pens I was testing for long-term sealing. They were all slightly stained and wouldn't completely flush but I didn't try too hard, just some soaking and a short dip in the ultrasonic.

I could only pull the feed from one of them no matter how hard I tried, and the one I could pull the feed from turned out to have a crack. So that's my third cracked WingSung (3008, 698, 699). At least this one was very inexpensive.

Four uncapped piston filler fountain pens in a row. The top pen has orange accents and has the nib, feed, and a collar removed. There is a visible crack near the tip. Second pen has pink accents and slight red staining in the feed. Third pen has light blue accents and light blue staining in the feed. Last pen has green-ish(?) accents and blurple staining in the feed.
Close up photo of a cracked fountain pen section. There is a lengthwise crack along the section that splits into two "arms" which stretch out horizontally left and right
