So I am looking for a wrecked pen or parts.

 

Please PM if you have any suggestions.

 

Thanks

Tough one.

 

You need:

 

Filler (~25)

Nib (25 and up)

Collector/feed/tube (~10)

Clutch ring (2)

Cap (25 and up)

 

Parted out a 51 is actually worth quite a bit.

 

Your best bet is to just purchase a 51 and save the barrel/hood/blind cap for later use.

Thanks for the response, I agree and that is what I will probably end up doing.

 

However I thought it would be worth at least trying to find a whole pen that is in very poor condition or with a broken barrel or missing bind cap. Somehow, it seems a shame to take good pen, complete with all the original parts and replace them with modern reproductions.

If you buy a pen in poor condition, it is likely that you will have to replace some of the very parts you are seeking. You will most likely have to replace the diaphragm. You might as well buy new components. You could have bought them from AK and gotten all in the same shipment.
