I have a very beautiful Parker Duofold Centennial in Lapis Lazuli, but unfortunately it has a cracked cap. Indeed is the second one that cracked, but the first time Parker could find and send me a replacement cap. This one broke too and now Parker says they don't have them anymore. The cap has broken where the arrow touches the barel, as you can see in the photos. Any ideas, where I could possibly find one ?

Thanks for your answer ! I just looked at their site but they only have an International cap, not centennial and it's not complete...the lower part with the golden rings is missing

The cap is made from individual pieces glued together. You may only need the top sleeve.

My first cap broke where the arrow touches the cap, as you can see in my photos. It is glued by me and still use it, because I cannot leave the pen uncapped. So, I don't think I only need the top sleeve. The second one broke exactly over the golden stipes, so maybe, if I cannot find a new cap, I'll have to look for just a part and glue them. But I'm looking for a new (or used) whole cap.

I would carefully glue it back together with a good two-part epoxy. That would at least make it so that the pen could be used without it drying out.

I bought one of the incomplete caps for the International without the end piece and rings. In then found the parts - 2 rings and a clear screw-on Cap end - on another site in the US. It is not as perfect as the Centennial Cap received from Newall Rubbermaid, which was brand new & complete, but adequate for use and fits perfectly.

1. Can you suggest a product youve used

2. Does the product dry up soon after it has been opened (like loctite)?

3. Is it an alternative for loctite or do they perform doffrrrnt functions?

 

Thanks!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
