a BIG Thank you to all of you who gave me pointers the esterbrook M2 is writing up a storm again. This was my first repair job and I think I did Ok. Now my next challenge is a Parker Duofold Sr. Black with no pressure bar (that I can get ) a sac - that I got, and a bent gold nib - there's the challange. IT also has the wrong cap - I think the cap is a sheaffer but I am not sure - probably been like this for eons.
Anyone have a spare Duofold Sr. cap they would like to sell? it would be much appriciated. The Duofold is the largest pen I have ever held in my hand and I think once repaired it will be very nice - but both pens are for my mom.

thanks,
joel
