Omas Milord/paragon Old Style Replacement Nib Collar

[Betweenthelines]

Hi everyone,

I have what I believe to be an old style Milord (1997) that has a cracked nib collar (the hard rubber collar inside the celluloid). Do you know anyone who would have this part and/or be able to replace it for me? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks

I suffered a similar problem on my Galileo a few years ago. Brunori, a well know pen shop in Milano replaced it for me, but regretfully they recently closed down (another pen shop closing, but especially a shop with a pen repair lab, and a very experienced owner, and a gentleman, who is retiring).

You might wish to try Novelli in Rome, Marco, the owner, is a FPN member.

The collar is in plastic, not hard rubber.

You can buy a replacement at penboard.de

Hmmm, I cannot see a nib collar offered on penboard.de. Where did you find it? So far, I made replacement collars myself from pieces of plastic hose with nearly the right diameter. But it's a real pain to do.

Scroll the page to the end.

And sorry, collars are in hard rubber, not in plastic as I said.

Thanks a lot! I hope they'll still have some next time I need one.

Thanks a ton for the link! Now to figure out whether I have a Paragon or a Milord...

[Betweenthelines]

If my pen is almost exactly the same length capped as a Pelikan m805, is it a Paragon?

[OMASsimo]

A picture and it's exact length in mm might be more helpful to identify the pen.

[Betweenthelines]

I don't have a ruler, but the Pelikan m805 is listed as being 142mm

This is closer to a Paragon. In that case, the nib most probably should be a 18k duotone nib. If I'm not mistaken, the Milord is around 133 mm and more likely has a monotone gold 14k nib. But there might be variations I'm not aware of.

Yes, it's a duotone 18k nib. Thanks for the guidance.
