I have been sent here from Reddit pens as I have a question (thanks octopips)
I have an old generic / no make filigree Roller Ball pen that has great sentimental value for me. It is styled on the Parker Duofold. Inside the cap there is a plastic sleeve that holds the cap onto the nib part when the pen is closed. Over time the plastic sleeve has worn down and now doesn't hold the cap securely in place - lightly shake the pen and the cap flies across the room.
Is there a special name for the inner plastic sleeve, are replacement ones available to buy and if so where would I likely get one?
(I know I will have to remove the sleeve to measure it to get a match, but I don't want to do that until I know there may be a replacement available).
Many thanks.
