.416 Rigby Cartridge pen

[Janster]

....a friend gave me a box of discarded shell casings and there were three of these cartridges within and I wanted to see if I could fashion a pen from them. This is what I came up with. It is clip-less and measures @ 3 &7/8" in length and incorporates a twisty slimline tranny. The patina is not too bad. I just cleaned it a bit with a scotch guard pad and that is good enough for me. Be well.....Jan

Now that's what I call a CARTRIDGE pen! Well done!

Well Done, Jan.
It will be a Direct Hit.

Nicely done, Jan, love the nib you made for it. I have to admit, that's the first time I heard of the .416 Rigby Cartridge.
