Cracked and broke the section on my Patrician. Yowch. It's the red/maroon one. Can't find a replacement anywhere. The NIB and the feed are fine, I just need a section itself. Looked all around the net and check with fivestarpens, and can't seem to find a replacement. Either red or black would do! If anyone can help, it would be appreciated!

On rare occasions they appear on eBay. Someone had a red section up for sale but it sold. This is not easy to find and expect to pay a fair amount for a replacement. I would start contacting individuals if I were in your place since you won't likely find one online. You can also look for a junker pen and harvest the parts. Keep the section and sell the rest.

Ask the seller where to get one here.

You might ignore the excellent part of the description.

Wow, yeah, that section would work perfect. But not for $399. And the dude's description--ouch?

 

If anyone has any other leads on WHERE a section could be found, it would be greatly appreciated. It was my favorite pen! Ugh.

To think I sold this for £120 a couple of years ago. There was no way I could find a new feed or make a new cap ring so it went to a man that could.

 

I suspect I could get that for the nib alone now.....ahhh well never mind.

You don't hijack a man's thread when he's looking for a needed vintage pen part, and you don't key a man's car. You just don't do it.

Toddatkins, That's probably not the best tone when begging for parts.....

Try some of the well-known repairers. They keep stocks of parts for repairs.

 

Whether or not they're willing to let them go, well, that's another story....

No hijack, just showing the parts are out there you just have to be patient or lucky. That pen was purchased on eBay and its broken feed was not shown or mentioned in the description. Perhaps a WTB in FPN Classifieds will bring fruit.

Ask that seller, claims they are easy to find in the eBay ad.

 

I'd think a correct section in red to be a 100-120 item in good condition.

As an alternative option you could find a repairer who can turn you a new section for your pen. There are probably several members on here who could do that job for you.

Thanks, Chrissy. Can you point me in the right direction of who might be able to do that?

I don't think it's going to be that easy because the internal profile is not a true circle. There is a set position for the nib. When removing the nib and feed from the grip/block you have to ensure they return to the exact rotational position. Even modern pens have this feature.

      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
