Another attempt with a piston filler

[javier75]

This one is another design of a fountain pen based in the one I showed you some days ago. It has softer lines than that, and it´s a little bit shorter. To make the plunger work you have to turn the second half of the barrel, where is placed the piston when the fountain pen is full. It has, again, a #6 Jowo nib, and I use to write with it, too. Let me know what you think, and thanks in advice, have a nice day

I think it looks great.

That looks nice.
I like the colour of the inkview.
True workmanship!

best regards

Thanks for your comments, they are nice. When reading again what I wrote, I forgot to tell some things about this fountain pen. In this one I have changed the O ring joint for a syringe plug, so it has increased the ink capacity of the barrel, due to its new dimensions: 27mm high and 9,1mm of internal diameter. The problem I find when using these plugs is that they have a conical shape in the tip, so when you empty the tank, always remains a drop of liquid, because the bottom of the tank is flat. Do you have any idea, or know some other kind of plug to prevent this problem? Thanks again in advance

Glorious Pen, Javier,
Excellent Profile, and Proportions,
Love the Transparent Tube , and the fact that the Cap reduces the amount viewed.
Terrific Craftsmanship.
Congratulations,
Brian.

Good job! It looks as if you figured out the differential mechanism

Thanks so much jalbert, but I don´t know where can be founded a differential in a fountain pen. Which part do you mean?
