Sheaffer Balance Lever Missing Where Can I Find One?

[jimsan]

I have a Sheaffer Balance that I'd like to repair. The lever is missing. Does anyone know where I can find a lever for a Sheaffer Balance. The half moon clip is also bent as a result of my removing it. I would also like to find that clip but I expect I could make one out of a cheap key ring. It has gold filled trim.

What size Balance? I may have one in my parts bin that I can send you.

Here is a picture of the pen. The barrel is just over a half inch in diameter. Thx for looking. The pen has some swelling around the clip that holds the lever in place. It is not terrible. my plan for the pen is the take 0000 steel wool and buff the pen to give it a mat finish. The cap and barrel. The nib is very nice no trouble there. That will de-emphasize the distortion a bit and I like the look of a black mat finish anyway. This is my first Sheaffer balance. Another rabbit hole.
