This blank was made by the blankmeister Jonathan Brooks. I call it JB's Inferno, for obvious reasons.
The piston filling mechanism comes from Richard Greenwald. It's recently been offered for sale and makes an excellent installation. The instructions are very good. The hard part of the project for me is recessing the ink window, but I know there are some who prefer that it not be hidden. I'll try that too.
Length capped 5 3/4" (147 mm)
Length uncapped 5 1/2" (140 mm)
Length posted 6 7/8" (175 mm)
Cap diameter 17 mm
Barrel diameter 14.3 (at widest point on exposed barrel when capped)
Section diameter 11.5 mm at nib end, 13.5 at ink window end
Weight 29 gm
