...bite marks. I picked up a very nice looking Sheaffer Triumph in striated brown/gold celluloid from eBay. All of the pics looked great. When it arrived, I noticed bite marks on the end of the filler. The pen writes great, but those bite marks are bugging the heck out of me. Can they be removed?
Can these be buffed out.

You've got to sand them out, moving from about 400 to 2000 grit, then polish. If they're really deep you may have to live with it. If it's a vac-fill, just be happy it fills!
P.S. I've got parts.

I'm not sure how good the restoration of the sac was, and I'm toying with the idea of sending a pack of pens to Danny Fudge, and including this pen in the package. If you had told me a year ago that I would be buying brown pens, I would have laughed at you. Then the Nid Hog had to to start that Vacumatic thread.
That thread cost me too!

But in a good way! I want to lay my hands on a Maroon Vac.
Beginish,.... you are out of control !!!!
Sanding is the way to go, much like making acrylic scales for straight razors, if you've ever done that, or seen tutorials. I start with 600 grit W/D paper, then 1k, then 1.5k, then Brasso on a rag. I've done a couple of chomped P51's that way and they come up a treat.
But of course!
Now it's come full circle--you've got me looking for more!
