I have 2 Duofold Centennial nibs but only one barrel (orange). Anyone know where I can find a barrel? Color does not matter.

Thanks

Jicaino, one nib is a Broad the other a Fine. It would be like trying to sell one of two children...which one?

OK thought you had 2 nibs of the same "flavor". I understand your position and I wouldn't part with either of these nibs. Good luck in finding a spare barrel! Too bad for my otherwise complete centennial, that never got to see life. I bought it with no nib and feed at a parker retailer. Other than that is perfect.

Would you like to sell it?

mmm...

shipping out of argentina via EMS would cost US$28 to the states and US$ 35 to the rest of the world. This would be the only safe method I can think of for shipping a pen of this value out of the country. Fedex will nail both you and me with customs duties and endless paperwork, and will cost more than 2 times that money.

That's mi first thoughts. If you like the idea, I can send you some pictures of the centennial. Send me an email to (same username as in here) at gmail dot com so I can reply to your adress and discuss the price, shipping options, send you pictures and do all the arrangements.

I'd like better to get a feed/nib, but there's too many project pens on my hands now, so if it suits us I might consider selling it to you.

Thanks for considering it. It sounds like shipping and duty cost may end up being more that what the item is worth. I think I'll continue exchanging nibs on the same barrel.

if you're really interested... where are you located? I can get the whole chart of shipping cost options and I'll declare as "repaired pen returning to original owner". The only people I have sold pens to that ever paid taxes where a doctor from france that instructed me to ship on his fedex account and declare the real value for our transaction. He got nailed with VAT and import duties.
