Parts For Lebeouf

[heybuddy]

I have a 5 1\4 inch lebeouf ,green and black, tan ends and cap band, nice big #8 nib, that is missing the clip, lever and ring top. I assume it is a ring top because it has a hold in the top of the cap ( though curiously,it is a little off center). The imprint is OK, a little beat up but readable. This pen deserves restoration. I thought I'd find the parts and then hunt up a restorer. I did find a repro clip at Avalon jewelry but don't know if it will fit nor can I find away to get ahold of them. Any ideas?

Picture would help. The parts you seek exist but are difficult to find.

I've never seen a ringtop model that takes a #8 nib, though I have seen smaller LeBoeufs with both a clip and ringtop on the same pen.

Makes me wonder if a pen with both was a special order (always looked odd to me,) which would mean that there would be no reason a #75 or 90 couldn't be that way.

 

I may have a lever. I'll take a look.

Greg, Did you find a lever for this pen? That would be exciting news. I would be halfway home with that and the Avalon clip. (Avalon did get back to me though they don't know if the clip they make will fit this pen.). I will send pics soon but in the mean time, someone mentioned a "90". Is that the largest Leboeuf?

Personally I think he'd make an interesting Macbeth witch.

Unfortunately, my filler parts are mostly sleeve/ thumb filler parts. The levers I have are for the little #40, which won't help for the big pen you have.

#90 was the largest model, yes.
