Full Version: After-market ring tops

Hello!

I have a very nice pen and pencil set that is in great condition other than the missing ring-tops. I found a reference to generic gold plated spares but when I wrote to the dealer he didn't respond (and the reference was removed from his web-site!).

Does anyone know where I might find them? I'm also interested to know if they are relatively similar and can be swapped between brands. My pen and pencil are Wahls and the ring tops appear to be a "friction" fit (i.e. they have a short rod that it is fitted - possibly glued - into the blind cap).

Looking forward to your responses,

Darren.

Darren- I was coming in to ask the very same question!

Or, to see if anyone had a lead on where I could get a screw in ring-top for a Parker Lady Duofold w/ 3 cap bands. Authentic would be best, but after-market would be better than nothing!

Let us know if you hear anything outside of this thread, k?

I'm always seeing pens being sold for parts on eBay...maybe you'll find what you're looking for there.

Drop me an email if you're interested in replacement vintage ringtop pieces.
