......many of the pen kits that are available, today, have that big, ugly(IMO) chunk of threaded metal and plastic hardware on the end of the barrel opposite to the nib. Most all of the commercially produced pens that you see.....both the modestly priced pens and the luxury pens.....have relatively little hardware at that location and I don't remember ever seeing one that had threads to accept posting the cap. Berea has a kit(Streamline American) that has a relatively small piece of threaded metal on the end of the pen barrel and there are a few non-posting kits(Jr. Statesman, for one) that have a smooth metal end piece.
I wonder why the kits that are available to us don't more closely mirror the style of the pens that most of us are used to seeing and using???
