A few months ago, I spotted a fountain pen (I think it was a fountain pen, but it might have been a rollerball) with a modified cap.

The kit may have been a Baron / Jr Gent.

I can't find it again, but the penmaker had removed teh stud from teh closed end of the cap and replaced it with a piece of the same wood from which the barrel was turned.

Does anyone have a clue what I'm rambling about, could anyone point me inthe direction of the post, or can anyone tell me how to get the little cap out of the end of the lid furniture?

Thanks.

Check out the articles in the library. Here's how to knock out the finial:

And here's my technique for turning a replacement:
