I bought 4 (2 gold and 2 lustraloy) aero 51 caps and a vac 51 gold cap from local vintage shops and all of these for very cheap prices ($5-10).

 

In fact I have completed 6 of my 51 pens using parts bought randomly from these vintage shops selling pen parts as well as other vintage items. i once or twice was also able to find a P75 M nib and two to three P51 nibs for $3-5. Yet , it is only by luck. No regular dealer ,here in Pakistan , offering Parker parts for sale.

I ,however, have no knowledge of anyone selling P51 caps in UK / online.

 

Best of luck.

I read a thread on here recently about someone who provided this service although I think they may have been in the States. I clicked on the website too and had a snoop around and they sold all manner of pen bits. Sadly, I recently cleared my history :(

 

Perhaps someone else will recall. Ebay can be a good source for this too if you search 'fountain pen lot' as many have P51's in them. The nibs are usually missing or unrescuable but you might get a decent cap out of it and they do tend to go fairly cheaply.

Please post in the correct sub-forum, ie, the Parker forum

Apologies. I consider myself suitably chastised. Got a lot on my mind and pens help take my mind off things, a little.

 

I know I was wrong, but, really....could you not have sent a private reminder, rather than making me feel publicly embarrassed?

You can always ask on Parker75.com; I got one there a few years back, not cheap but the pen needing it was, so all up $65 wasn't bad.

Also Parker51.com is worth asking... http://www.parker51.com/parts.html even if not showing on the parts page (as now.)

      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
