Replacement Safari "o-Ring"

[Gump]

I finished a cleaning of my Safari earlier this evening and upon reassembly realized that something wasn't quite right. The black plastic ring that separates the body and section was gone, presumably washed down the drain during my cleaning.

 

In any case, I am left with a decidedly odd looking Safari. A review of the Lamy site shows they only sell the nib section, barrel, and cap individually, all for quite a premium price I might add. Anyone know where I can source a replacement?

Maybe take the pen to a hardware or plumbing supply store and see if they can figure out which size O ring might work?

I will keep an eye on it, still pricey in my eyes.

It's not actually an O ring, but rather a piece of molded plastic that resembles one. I suppose I could get an actual rubber one in it's place though.

Shot Filofax an email and they kindly offered to send me a replacement. It arrived today along with the current Lamy product catalog. Top notch customer service!
