Fountain Pen Question

[jeffj13]

I prefer fountain pens and am looking for FP kits where the cap posts by friction, not by screw in.

Besides the churhill, statesman and gentleman, are there any other kits where the cap posts by friction?

Statesman and gents don't post. You may want to look at the americana snap caps from CSU.

El Grande and El Grande Streamlined are the only options that I know of.

You have lots of "standard" size FP kits that post w/friction. Do a search at CSU with the word "fountain" and you will see their standard and americana styles all post, as well as their EG clones, Ligero. I'm sure there are quite a few at PSI also as they have quite a few unique mid size styles. I've just not been terribly satisfied w/their quality control so I don't keep up much w/their lines.

Jeff, both CSUSA and PSI have snap cap fountain pens, but CSUSA has a better selection and better plating options. The Platinum Americana is a pretty nice pen for a small snap cap and I sell a few of them a year.
