Are Jr.Gent II no longer available to buy as Fountain Pen Kits?

[philb]

Hi,

Have just come to restock my Jr.Gent II kits and can't find the fountain kits in stock anywhere? Can see Rollerball versions with a Fountain conversion kit? But that makes the kit a good $10-$12 more than a straight no conversion kit??

Any ideas, as this is my go to capped pen style, as it's a nice clean kit

Cheers,
Phil

I think this post from the CSUSA account on this site might answer your question. Not sure where you were purchasing from and if it is a sign of a larger trend, but the fountain pen option is now only available as a conversion kit instead of a kit from their inventory. My guess is they weren't selling near the numbers of fountain pen versions as they were roller ball.

I have been able to get a few FP conversions from Exotic Blanks. Ed is very helpful in pointing me in the right direction.
