Best inexpensive screw cap

[dntrost]

OK I am newbie and want to try some screw cap pens my finish is still just friction polish and wax. Just wondering if there is a recommendation for an inexpensive screw cap? I know you get what you pay for but since I am still learning don't want to spend $15.00 a kit....

Dion, I would suggest something like the Baron, in chrome, which are available for around the 8 dollar mark. If you are going to go through the effort of making a screw cap pen, it may as well be something decent with a good quality plating. While Chrome does not have the same "high end" image like Sterling Silver or Platinum etc. it is a high quality product that will last and always look good.

Agree with Chris and would also add the El Grande in chrome.

Hey my finish is still the same as yours. Does that still make me a newbie? I would suggest the Jr.Gent. It has a very nice screw cap.

I think the absolute cheapest screwcap is a 24kt gold Classic from WoodnWhimsies at 4.60 for Rollerball, 7something for fountain. I've done tons of those mostly for Christmas presents, and sold a few up to 56$.

Thanks think I will give the last two a try JR Gent looks cool and $4.60 is my price range since wife thinks this is getting to be an expensive hobby...[]

I just made my first Jr. Gent after asking the people here what to start with. I was worried since it was my first top end pen, but it was fun to turn, easy to assemble and a nice mide size pen. Not to mention it looks expensive. It turns heads, especially with the people that use bic and papermate all day. Good luck!

Hello,
Where are you buying a Jr. Gentlemen for $4.60? I'd like to get some too.
Thanks much.

I think he meant the 24kt Classic, which is 4.60, or else I'm getting screwed!

I guess I'm dense, there is nothing on the WoodnWhimsies.com site that is $4.60. Is there another site that these pens cost $4.60? Sorry if I'm dumb. Thanks for the info.
