I really can't believe that re-inking is the only (or even the best) answer.

Unleash the power of the internet and you can find most things.

I made a quick , uninformed, search and found this as a hit for a site 
that deals with fabric ribbons and particularly states that 'Hard to 
Find' ribbons.

Here , also, or alternatively is a Pelikan 13mm ribbon. That can be 
bought from Ryman but being a reputable German manufacturer must also be 
available somewhere nearer to you.

Let's not re-invent the wheel unless it really becomes necessary.
