Parker Super 21 Disassembly

I've tried everything from the hairdryer to warm water to get this pen apart, but it still somehow stays together.

So, now I'm pretty sure it's NOT shellac holding it together... could it be glue??? If so, how should I proceed?

Keep trying. There may be some shrinkage as well as some kind of adhesive, and some of them take a devilish long time to see reason. Repeated cycled of warmth will to it, if it's to be done at all.

I feel so dumb. I just got it apart, but the hood and part of the clutch ring are now stuck in the cap. (see photo) post-114644-0-03527400-1409263573.jpg

 

How do I fix this???

Poo. First, see if you can hook the ring out with a bent paperclip or crochet needle. Then try gently screwing the pen back into the parts in the cap; it doesn't have to go all the way, just enough to grab. If that doesn't work, it's back to the previously used hook, running it right up through the mouth of the hood.

Okay, did it, nothing budged. Any other ideas?

 

Edit: probably going to get a thinner crochet needle though, the one that I used could barely fit through the cap.

You can try threading them back together with the clutch ring still inside. I avoided suggesting it because if it's tight, it might be too much for incompletely mated threads to handle, and you'll end up stripping something AND still have all that stuff in the cap.

 

...and I also should have said, teeny weeny crochet needle. #1 or smaller. Since this is the only thing I use them for, I tend to forget bigger ones exist. :doh:

      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
