I offer a wide ranging repair service, but I particularly welcome some of the more challenging repairs on older pens. I have extensive experience with Swan Visofil, Blackbird Topfill, Ford Patent Pen, Parker Vacumatic, De La Rue piston fillers, Eversharp piston fillers, Sheaffer Snorkel and Vac-fill etc.
The service provided for all pens includes dismantle and ultrasonic cleaning, replacement of all seals, hand polish of external surfaces (not buffing!) and tests for filling and smooth and efficient writing performance. The removal of deep scratches, electroplating and the replacement of broken parts will be charged extra.
Eversharp piston fillers and Vac-fills are serviced by replacement of the barrel seal and mount by a new plastic unit containing a nitrile ‘O’ ring. The ‘O’ ring guarantees smooth operation and full performance indefinitely.
I have developed special tools for the removal of Parker 51 cap ‘dings’ and dents. These have been effective in restoration to near perfect condition for gold and silver filled caps and they also work well on stainless steel caps).
Prices for restoration work are for guidance only. It is impossible to give a firm price for repair until the pen has been examined to determine whether replacement parts are needed.
Pens sent for repair will be acknowledged by return of post, and a quotation for repair will be sent without obligation. Senders are advised to use Royal Mail’s Special Delivery service to provide insurance of value and assurance of delivery.
