Waterman Night & Day Safety Pen Cap

[optimumXF]

Hi,

 

I'm new to restoring Waterman safety pens, I read up on their disassembly and replacing the cork with o-rings (which I plan to do with this one), but I haven't seen much on restoring the cap.

 

Is there anything to replace in the cap or a way to check if the cap seal is working properly?

 

My second question is about an overlay. Is ther a way to remove the overlay to better polish it and clean the barrel underneath or would that just break the pen? (I'm guessing their isn't, but though I'd ask).

Thanks in advance for your help!
