A client from Australia asked for these, and coincidentally I had just completed one for myself. I was impressed with the smoothness using Private Reserve Velvet Black cartridges. In fact, ink flow is so juicy, the usual gray-black of this ink looked almost as dark as my fave--Noodler's Heart of Darkness.
These pens allow quite a short section and cap (yes, the cap posts). I make the barrels long enough to take an International long cartridge like the Private Reserve Maxi, or alternatively two short cartridges for those who want to know when they're halfway through their ink supply.
The cartridge roller ball nibs (I shouldn't call them nibs, should I?) are made by Schmidt and sold by Mike and Linda at Indy-Pen-Dance. I got the AA-37 Green and Black acrylic blanks from Ed and Dawn at Exotic Blanks.
Overall length is 5"--this is all I know. I sent them off hurriedly and neglected to take measurements.
Comments and questions welcome. Thanks!
