I just received both pens and would like to get some advice on inspecting, repairing and restoring to useable writing, please.

Oxford
How does the section come off from barrel? Screwed in or pressed in? What size bladder? And lastly, the clip is a bit sprung. Anyway to fix this?

Varsity
How does the section come off from barrel? Screwed in or pressed in? What size bladder? How does the nib come off? I would like to clean and shine it up a bit and adjust the tines.

Any advice of help is greatly appreciated!

I am not sure about the Varsity.

As for the Oxford, is it a lever-fill? Most lever-fill Oxfords I have seen are a slip fit. However, Oxfords may also be found with a twist-fill variant, that is a PITA to repair and it has a threaded section, like a vacumatic (very much like a vacumatic).
