I am wondering how to get a replacement cap for a ribbed green Sailor 1911. Does anyone have a source for spare parts or repairs?

Many Thanks

Might ask Sailor themselves ( Europe info@sailorpen.co.uk , Japan kaigai@bungu.sailor.co.jp ) , I can't even find the green ribbed one online anywhere and the cap band on the black one goes down to the lip of the cap.

If it's a limited edition chances are slim of a replacement. Seems the only instance I found of the ribbed one with a cap lip like that was said to be hand-lathed instead of injection molded, and might be a limited run with a # on the grip.

Thanks for the info. I also searched and searched for this model, and found nothing else like it. There are no LE numbers, but it does have a wonderful Zoom Nib!
