This afternoon while trying to fix my grandfather's printer I found an interesting little pen called the Savoy. A preliminary google search seems to suggest it's a De la Rue creation.
The pen seems to be in pretty decent condition, the nib is a flexible medium that writes quite nicely when dipped. I really looks like al it needs is a good clean and a new sac.
However, I can't get the pen open. I've tried to apply a bit of heat to soften what I assume to be shellac, but to no avail, and I daren't be more aggressive.
Any pen repair experts who can give me any tips? Grandmia? If all else fails, you'll probably be getting it sent to you eventually.
