Default How do I dismantle an old Onoto pencil

How do I dismantle an old Onoto pencil?

It is the type that winds up the lead by your turning the cone at the
writing end.

A similar looking pencil that I have sends up a metal tip to expel the
lead at the end of the wind.

In the case of the Onoto I think a stub of lead is jammed into the
lead holder, which prevents the metal tip expelling the final bit of
lead.

My problem is that I can't see how to separate the winding mechanism
from the plastic body of the pencil.

The pencil dates from the middle of the last century, I presume. Photo
