I picked up this Waterman Safety pen recently and plan to replace the cork with rubber o-rings, but I'm wondering how to replace the seal in the cap. Does anyone know how to service the cap on these pens?

I'm not sure I understand what seal you are asking about. The cap seal is the face of the section hitting a sealing surface machined into the cap.

Thanks, Farmboy. That was what I didn't know, whether the seal was part of the cap or part of an insert in the cap.

So clearly there's nothing to be replaced, either it works or, I guess if it gets damaged somehow, it doesn't.
