Need help with a Parker Duofold

I was just trying to remove the feed and nib (which I did) unfortunately I
broke part of the section, what should I do, use crazy cement or what kind
of glue should I use, I don't want to damage any more the section.

Thank You

EA

How old is the pen? The section piece you should be able to either find
a replacement or send it to a repair place, they are easy enough to
repair. However, I would not use crazy glue because it can cause more
damage to the feed section or cause other clogging problems.

I would say the pen is c. 1929, the broken part is above the screw.

I had to take apart my Duofold of similar vintage to remind myself of
what this all looks like. Are you saying that your Duofold has a
section that screws into the barrel, and that the nipple (the part
the sac is glued onto) is broken off?

the nipple. Thank You.

OK. I've never seen a break like that, but there's a first time for
just about everything. I'd give gluing it back together a try. This
is going to be an area that is wet at all times when the pen is
filled, so a waterproof (when dry) glue would be essential. Hmmm. A
rather thick shellac might work; a "super glue" or "crazy glue" might
work too although I don't know if those might dissolve eventually.
Personally I'd probably try an epoxy.

That is right, a part of the nipple broke, I would say like 1/3 of the
nipple. Thank You.
