For sale is a Bexley Corona Summer Storm piston filler with two nibs. One is a standard steel Bexley Medium. The other is a 14K Parker Fine nib that has been mounted for Bexley pens using a 14K gold shim from a scrap nib. The Parker nib unit has the piercing tube and so could be used with a Bexley cartridge converter pen. The piercing tube does not come anywhere near the piston, so the only upshot in the Corona is whether or not the last drop of ink is accessible to the feed. The 14K shim had to be ground down to be thinner, and it looks like this was one of the ones that I rushed the fitting a little on and ended up splitting the feed cup, which had to be solvent welded back. But it's in good working order, nevertheless, and the repair is inside the section when the nib is in use. Of course you could use the nib to restore a Parker VS or Vacumatic and toss the Bexley feed hardware if you were so inclined.

Asking $115 shipped to US continental addresses via USPS Priority Mail Small Flat Rate box. PayPal preferred.
(Will sell for $90 shipped without Parker nib unit.)
