Rescue a Waterman

A client contacted me to find out, if I could save her Waterman.
Usually I don't do this kind of repair, but as it's a good customer .....
Waterman's SAV told her that he couldn't do anything anymore, because no more spare parts for this model.

Fountain pen with great sentimental value, so damn damn, I embarked on a precision CA gluing, here is the result.

I'm very impressed.:) Well done you. :applause:

Can you please enlighten me as to exactly what "CA gluing" is?

Were the threads reinforced?

That will be it junglejim. :) I was obviously having a senior moment. :(

That is impressive. It's a pen well worth saving, too!

I couldn't strengthen them from the inside, otherwise I will not be able to screw the section.
I redid all the finish from the outside, it reinforces everything.


CA= Cyanoacrylate, that right
