When I first saw the pen I did not know what I was looking at but did recognize the nib to be a Waterman No.2 ideal. These 14k gold nibs are notorious for their flex but not original to this pen. I saw the 'Parkette' on the clip and assumed it was a Parker pen but couldn't find it anywhere in my references. I posted photos on a fountain pen forum (you know) and someone was gracious enough to let me know what they though on the matter of this pen's identity. After which I was able to do a little research to better understand the material the pen was made of and how to dismantle it. When using a controlled heat applied to the barrel / section connection point I was able to separate the section from the barrel. I was a little surprised to see thread inside the pen holding the rubber sac (removed in photo) to the section. Typically the sac is secured using shellac. After cleaning off the remnants of the original sac I applied a new one using shellac and waited about 45 minutes before handling.  I applied pure talc to the rubber sac using an old bycycle tire tube I had kept. Then secured the secrion back into the barrel using shellac yet again. A quick clean up of any residual shellac and the pen is good to go.

This pen was just taken out of my drawer because of its colour but considering the nib it is fitted with I still  enjoy  using it. One thing for certain though this lever filler repair had inspired me to get my hands dirty when looking into maintaining the collection. The Parker Parkette Zepher will be made available to you through a for sale page in the near future for anyone interested.
