Hey all, the cap band separated from the cap on my Carene so the cap is no longer held in place. Customer service invited me to send it to France for repair, but in procrastinated and decided I can just glue it back into place. It would take quite a while for me to get the pen back and it is one of my favorites. I doubt I will ever sell it, so Im not too worried about ruining its value. I am worried about ruining its aesthetic. Will a drop of super glue handle this? 2 ton epoxy? Marine epoxy? What would you use? Thanks

One of my Ebay wins. Sheaffer Balance, Carmine Red. somewhere around 1939 to the end of the Balance line. After soaking the cap today there was what I assume to be some extremely stubborn ink on the gold cap band. After polishing a bit to get this ink off I noticed a very faint version of what you see highlighted in the picture but it was on the other side of the cap. Is what I noticed under where the ink was but is now gone some matching detail that I have removed that is now only left on one side or is this tarnish that just ended up making it appear that perhaps there was a design there?

Hello I have a question I am making a Franken pen using a vintage nib Section 1 Sheaffer 33 or 3-25 nib. I need idea on minimum size for my cap section of pen. I have spoken to a person in Florida who makes Sterling Silver pen parts. I need to know diameter of the cap so I can order band for the cap my pen. Also artistically what would be a good band thickness? A thin band or thicker band. Any help appreciated. Your Farhan(London England) -
