With your skills perhaps you should try something like the Pilot Myu 701. Where the nib is machined in one piece with the section.
and then the striped version

Re: Pictures of pens
Striped version? You can send one to the Sett forthwith! It's our birthday soon and we likes fountain pens as much as guns...

Re: Pictures of pens
No point no one would buy it. People won't pay the money for that sort of thing. Not in my neck of the woods anyway.
Re: Pictures of pens
This is one of my latest its been ordered for a xmas present it will come in a hardwood box. It's a £50 pen plus the cost of the box. I have to seat the tit on the top of cap and its finished. My next job is a 70th Birthday matching set a roller ball and a fountain pen in a presentation box. Any way that's enough of that it's nothing to do with shooting.

I was bored so started searching the forum for old interesting threads well to me anyway.dromia wrote:So what parts do you actually make?
In answer to the question.
I do several different levels of pens depending on what the customer wants.
Some of them I use bought-in parts kit pens if you like they get to choose the material they are made from. They sell any were from £25 up to £55.
Ink pens the nibs can be as expensive as a pen depending on what you want. Average price £45.00 if you want a special nib double this.
My bespoke pens a fountain pen, for instance, the only bought in parts is the Nib the clip and the ink converter/pump. Price anywhere up to £140. depending on what they want.
I do wedding sets in Ivory, not real obviously. Graduation sets. Retirement gift sets. I also do corporate pens I can put any logo or picture on a pen including your favourite pet or gun or your mug shot.
hmm whats next. ? Who knows
