Vintage Piston Filler Duo

[jalbert]

Here are two commissions I recently finished up. They are both piston fillers made from vintage cellulose acetate and transparent gray acrylic, with nickel silver accents and clips. One uses a Pelikan m800 nib, and the other has an 18k gold Jowo nib. These are very similar in design, however there are small stylistic differences between the two, and one is about 1/4" longer than the other. I'm quite pleased with how these came out.

Great looking pens, John !!!!!

Very nice pens indeed John!
How did you fit the Pelikan m800 nib? Did you need a special section and tap, or does the nib fit the usual Jowo?

I used the gearbox on my lathe, and a small internal thread cutting tool to cut the threads for the pelikan nib.
