Since I'm keeping this one, I'm going to tap the section for a Pelikan M1000 nib and make it an eyedropper.

Any concerns with ink staining the insides of the pen?

edit: Although, I guess ink windows wouldn't work so well if that was a concern:sleepy:.

Yeah it'll stain quite a bit really. If I could get it polished super smooth it wouldn't be as bad as quickly I think, but it's going to stain pretty madly. I may only end up using easy clean inks like waterman blues or pelikan black (which I love).

Hi Shawn...I looked at this blank the other day on American Art Plastics and wondered what it would look like in a pen. Now I know. You did a great job on it and looks like a fun pen. Regards Darrell

Finally got the pel m1000 nib in there.
Took an M10x.75 tap to get it fit perfectly. Love it!
