Hi all, I bought vintage Eversharp Skyline at flea market few weeks ago, but It broke off at the section and barrel while I was using. It has a 14k gold nib, gold filled cap and lever filler. I am environment friendly guy so I recycled some of it's parts and made a completely new pen. Lever filler is too much for me so I changed it to bulb filler. It is my first bulb filler and works very well. The Clip was already missing when I bought it so put new clip. Home cast Alumilite for the see-though barrel, finial and inside the cap. free goodie orange Acrylester from woodturningz for the section and bulb cap. I reversed the cap orientation so the 12mm threads can be used. Thank you for looking and as always c&c welcome.

Great job, Yoshi. What are you using for the breather tube? Did you drill out the feed like the bulb filler tutorial shows? How many squeezes does it take to fill the reservoir? How do you like the nib and did it require any work?
Thank you. Yes, all plastic portion and clip are new. Red see-though Alumilite was a bit soft so it was difficult to polish. I tried to rethreads original plastic (I think it was celluloid) tube inside the cap but failed so I used my Alumilite to replaced it.
Thank you.
Thank you Robert. The breather tube was already there (see the first photo) so as the holes in the feed. So I didn't have to deal with the drilling. It takes 12-13 squeeze to fill the reservoir that hold about 3ml. I could've used larger sac to reduce the squeezing times but I wanted to reuse the original sac. The nib was pretty good originally. It only needed tine alignment.
