Baron, Jrgent question

[pete00]

howdy all...

Is the baron the same pen as the jr gent ?

the roller ball nib on baron has flat sides and the fountain nib is round right ?

i thought i saw a baron look alike with a round roller ball nib and round fountain nib. did i ? if yes where, if no never mind.


the whole point of this is im looking for a jr statesman size pen with screw on cap.....

thanks....pete

The Baron and Jr. Gent are not the same. The new Jr. Gent uses bigger tubes. The Baron rollerball has flat sides on the nib, but the FP has a round nib. The nibs on the Jr. Gent are both round. The Jr. Statesman and Jr. Gent are the same pen, just different fittings. The Baron is basically the same size, just slightly slimmer.

Jr Statesman comes in tapered or smooth ends but you can always buy the threaded end cap separately if you want .

Pete,

Yes, with Jr Gents you have the choice of end cap. Jr Statesman only comes with tapered end...BUT you can buy the tapered end cap separately. FYI their end caps are interchangeable.

I believe the original Jr's were the same tube size as the baron but that changed when the version II Jr's came out. I'm not positive.

You are right Johnathan. Jr. Gents and Jr. Statesman (ver. I) have same tube sizes as Baron. The version II's are bigger.

Is this where I start my weird drill size rant again? [][]

I know Frank...that is why I bought a drill bit set instead. Buying them piece meal is very expensive and frustrating!!! Since I use Gorilla Glue, the set in 1/64" increments works well to cover even the metric and letter bits. Now I only need to buy sizes over 1/2".

I drilled some blanks for Jr Gent II last night and glued them...in case I find some turning time after my final exams. It will be over (for the semester) by Thursday...YEY!!! [].
