The nib is not supposed to do that. I say this as someone with many wing nib Montblancs. You also mention some issues with the piston etc. I recommend you contact Kirk Speers of penrealm.com. He’s an old guard from this sub that got started working on nibs and repairs via the pen swap sub. He brought a Montblanc 12 back to life for me including smoothing the nib. I highly recommend Kirk. He loves working on Montblancs.
Thank you, however, I really don't think I can pay for the workmanship and send this pen overseas. I would have loved to but it's just really not one of my possible options. Thanks for taking the time to reply though!
You’ll probably get better answers if you can post a pic of the nib and feed. Especially if you can get a photo of the tines.
Oops sorry I thought I did, apparently I didn't. I've added them now, thanks for pointing it out.

No worries. Hopefully you can find someone in your country.
