Statesmen style fountain pen with postable cap?

[TowMater]

I have a client that loves the statesmen pens (he's 6'7" tall).

I recently showed him and his wife a Jr. Gent fountain pen with postable cap (which she promptly snapped up for her growing collection).

He wants a couple of fountain pens with postable caps, and he wants an Emperor and a Statesmen.....

Any ideas for a similar kit?

Thanks,

Todd

I've not seen any that big with a postable cap. The explanation I always get is the bigger pens are "desk pens" weighted to write with the cap off, if you posted the cap the pen would have to be rebalanced, or be way too cap heavy. If you find any post here, I've had similar requests

Would he consider a closed end Gent or Statesman? It wouldn't post, but you could make the pen longer to perhaps fit his hand better.

I could ask him, but I doubt it. He likes the Bling factor, and apparently his customers do as well.

I made him 10 Statesmen pens, he's given away 3 of them so far to customers and I've gotten a phone call from the first one asking about additional pens.

I need to turn a bunch before this recession really kicks in.

Berea's Cambridge is a large, high-bling-factor pen and is postable. Also, it is lighter than the Statesman/Emperor kits. I think you can get these from www.arizonasilhouette.com .

Yeah, I was looking at that earlier.

Hadn't some folks had problems with the plastic threads on these?

Thanks for the ideas folks, he decided postable caps aren't such a huge issue after seeing some pics I sent of various pens.
