Actually getting lathed parts for this pen with ruin it's value and is $500+ to make what i need compared to increasing the value by buying $200-300 in original parts to finish this pen, and whatever the cost to repair the crack.

After which you can sell it through a well known but unnamed dealer in exquisite pens?

After everything is set and stone, and they are in his hands and are listed, ill name the dealer.

Please do. If nothing else (because I'm doubting this is going to be listed in my price range), it will be very interesting to see how the lineage of the pen is described and explained. And, for all the assistance that has been given from people in the know on this board, posting information about the listing would be the smallest sign of gratitude.

. . . Still I would like to know the asking price and if I can examine the untouched pen.

One should refrain from quoting himself, but in this instance I will make an exception.

I do not know of anyone that is repairing cracks in hard rubber in an acceptable manner such that the repair would enhance the value of the pen and not merely serve to mask a problem to an unsuspecting buyer.

Awh, Farmboy-- in your case I suggest 2 part epoxy, not supeglue!

I take it one should soak in bleach first, right?

Hot glue has always been my weapon of choice. (In this case I would use the small sticks.) Likely not to important, I'm not getting far in my requests to see the unaltered pen.
