Made this over the last few days. Thanks to Charles (dalecamino) for the tutorial which gave me the confidence to give it a go. A bit scary as the stock was only 16mm and my cap threads are 13mm. The Ebonite is the stuff from Pakistan which is not that great. The black is especially bad. Binned the first one due to pits in the surface. The second has them also and was going to fill them, but then decided it adds to the vintage look of the pen....that's my excuse anyway :tongue: see the last pic.
The bands were made from 0.7mm sheet sterling silver, formed and silver soldered.
The nib is a 14k Pelikan unit that is marked as fine, but I think writes more like a European medium. Filling mechanism is button filler.
I really must do something about the clips now because chrome really looks naff alongside the silver.
C&C's welcome.
