Re: How did Parker or Esterbrook add cap trim rings?
the cap rings were slipped over and then swaged in place with special tools.
unfortunately, I don‘t have a picture..

Re: How did Parker or Esterbrook add cap trim rings?
Interesting. Well... That might be out nof reach then. So is the following...
I found this video about Pilot pens and in it at 10:32 they talk about molding the cap with the trim in place. Interesting but of course not the way I was planning to do it. https://youtu.be/lTjwbemFyRY

Re: How did Parker or Esterbrook add cap trim rings?
the first versions of modern parker duofolds were made different again. the cap lip was a seperate part that was glued to the cap tube to hold the cap rings.
there is a section drawing in the duofold book...

Older pens had their cap band swaged as mentioned. Basically, a tool that compressed the metal wring into the grooved area on the cap. Makes fixing them a real problem unless you have the tools.

Bands like that on an Esterbrook can be rill swaged but that is more too intensive.
Make your bands then make the cap in two parts and assemble. The modern Duofolds use a stack of rings held in place by a screwing the bottom cap lip in place and setting with thermal glue.
