Money.
LOL, I nearly said the same thing, but thought that would be cheeky.
Fact is, I've NEVER sold a pen yet and have no idea what they could be worth. They either get given away or just go in a box in my shop.

Is there any chance you could accidentally post the box with this on to me

Dawn, my compliments on how quickly you pick up on a new language. "'n bietjie taal" literally translates to "a little bit of languge". In conversational Afrikaans "die taal" or "the language" refers to Afrikaans. "tjie" is added to a word to form the diminutive of a word.
Not to sidetrack from Steven's post to much
Steven, thanks for sharing the completed pen. I've been looking forward to seeing it ever since you posted your "teaser". It's beautiful!

Awesome pen!
I just cant get my head around how you have made the nib section and attached it to the bolts used in barrel construction, with the transmission!

Steve,
the only thing that I can think to say that has not already been said is that that pen kicks some serious butt and that it is a prime example of innovation.

Hey Steve,
What did you use for the nib? I'm assuming it's removable as with a standard kit pen, but with you there ain't no telling for sure.
Ammazing Work.

How did this get bumped back in[?]
But to answer Phil and Mike's questions.
There is no mechanism. It is built like a regular capped pen.
The small bolt on the end unsrews to change the refill. The bolt for the cb is hollow but also screws into the body. The big bolt for the cap is done the same. The nib was made from the shaft of a longer bolt. Just put the soft hex shape on the nib with a bench grinder. The three start thread were just cut from a rod of it I turned some time ago. The cap was threaded by a tap I made from the same threaded rod. To keep it as light as possible, all the bolts were cut as short as possible. If I do something like this again then I'll make it split around the cb or try and have the nib removable. It's a bit difficult to get the refill out, and I had to search for a thin enough rollerball to get past the small threads in the end.
Also, because I hand sanded the hex shape, the dammed cap only lines up nice and flush on two of the starts. I can't figure that out really as I would expect it to line up with either just one or all three. But two? I dunno[)]
