I recently acquired a Parker "21" which, while it fills and writes well, has a couple of issues. The clip is broken off, and the upper barrel is cracked at the threads. So, how hard is it to find and replace the clip, or should I look for a new cap? Also, how should I go about fixing the cracked upper barrel? I thought of pushing a tight-fitting aluminum sleeve over it. There's old cellophane tae on it now, which is just barely holding. The photo I have of it is too big to attach here, so I'll put one in the Gallery. Thanks!

A 21 barrel will crack if you break wind too hard next to it. I wouldn't try to fix the cap, source a new one. Start prowling ebay & you'll find a replacement barrel & cap eventually.
