I got this Parker Lucky Curve 6 at a flea market (for $5!) this past weekend. Obviously, it's a bit of a fixer-upper, and I'm starting with finding it a cap. I've seen these with tapered caps but the seller (who says she saw the cap but then lost it) said the cap was not tapered. Does anyone know what kind of cap it would have, and where I might go about sourcing one? Are there other caps that may be serviceable until a 6 cap comes along?

 

The photos of it are here (don't mind the other pen at the end... I can't figure out how to create more albums so I just added these pictures to an existing album):

 

 

Thanks for all of your help!

Its likely going to be a tapered cap like in a waterman 24. There may be straight caps from other pens that can fit.

If it was a normal cone cap I would have expected to have a more regular looking section.

That said i'm no expert.

Finding a replacement may be difficult unless you are ok with getting someone with a lathe to make one for you.

      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
