For those of you who know me well enough I don't often get into early Parker pens but over the last few years I have been lucky to find a few nice examples. I recently came into a Parker 28 1/2 Jack Knife Safety but unfortunately it is missing its nib and feed. Does anyone have any idea what I might expect to pay for a #8 nib and feed? What do you think the going rate would be for a complete pen? I can only find very old sales results and while I wouldn't expect it to command what a Black Giant would bring it does seem strange to me that it appears to be far less common then one.

There has been a complete pen on ebay for over a year at $500.   I would expect to pay a bit more than half that for a nib and feed.

JKS 28s are scarcer than Black Giants, IMHO. I don't have a feed, but I do have an extra Lucky Curve #8 nib if you are interested. It's in good shape with good iridium. I'm looking for $200. Let me know back channel.
