I'm building a Baron fountain pen for the wife. I told her how much I like writing with the FT American FP I just started using, and she said, "I like fountain pens!" ('nuff said). I got to looking at the little black 'cone' thingy on the stock kit part.
It looks like it's pushed in and the 'rivet' thingy on the inside is then squished (yeah, I know, I a machinist genius, knowing all the 'buzz' words) to hold it into place.
I've seen some people lately that are putting nifty custom embellishments in there. Do you drill that piece out, or is it just being covered up with a surface 'cabochon'?
