:blush: OMG I am such a klutz. I dropped the ring that fills the gap between the barrel and the head section. Does anyone know where I can get another one? I looked on ebay.ca but who wants to pay 23 dollars plus shipping for a 20$ pen? Kelly

Parker51.com. That's where I bought mine after I dropped it down the drain.

I tossed a few in the scrap bin last week. Try looking there?

I did that same thing a couple of years ago. Only it was only *part* of the clutch ring assembly, and it took me the longest time to figure out why the hood wasn't going back on properly.... :blush: I hadn't realized it wasn't all one piece.

Fortunately it was still in the trap, which is pretty incredible, given how lightweight the thing is. I thought I was going to be in the position of buying an entire replacement one (which, admittedly was only a few bucks [uSD], as I recall) -- but then I would have been stuck with a piece of a jump ring, assembly, which didn't seem terrible useful.

$23 CDN seems awfully high. I remember looking at a bunch of websites to price replacements, and I can't imagine that the price jumped so much in just a couple of years. I don't have the info anymore, unfortunately -- I think that may have been one of the files that wouldn't port to my new laptop when I got it last year.

$23 Cdn does seem high. On the other hand, they aren't making any more of these, and so we ought to be more careful with the parts, I guess. I am not taking any more 51s apart over a sink. I recently replaced a nib, and was careful.

Forget about your clutch ring. It is now the scrap bin of FarmBoy to look for and locate.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
