Broken? Sheaffer balance 350 feed

[MartinTenbones]

I think this feed is broken and the large space in it is not supposed to be there.   This is a picture with the collar an nib removed.  I should probably source another eh? 

 

 

Thanks!

Correct. Likely someone tried to pull the feed out. Always knock out from the back. Dale at Pentooling sells replacement feeds. One can also be taken from a parts pen. 
 

Save the feed tail!! Those tend to break… good to have a few spares on hand.

Right on.     I'll make an order with Dale then.   I'm pretty sure I don't have a spare.

 

It was broken when I got it but until I started soaking it It didn't reveal the flaw.   After soaking the nib slipped out.   Definitely worth fixing though!
