    I'm not aware of any source of new levers. They are a re-used spare. Levers are pretty specific; you have to replace like with like. The length of the lever and the position of the fulcrum has to be exactly right.

    Only the last one is a lever, Chrissy. The others are pressure bars.

    I had a mottled hard rubber De la Rue Onoto pen with a corroded, broken lever and pressure bar assembly. I sent it to Ron Zorn to perform a miracle repair, but he had new generic levers (newly manufactured, not N.O.S.) that matched and I opted for one of those. I'm sure Ron's inventory is reserved for his own repair work. So, there are new lever assemblies out there, but I don't know who is making or selling them.

    I just copied what the ebay listings called them. I wasn't sure if OP wanted a box lever or something else. I never use any of them.
