Here is another of my mini turban top pens from the early 1920's,
The only pen part in this pen, is an El Grande nib. No other pen
parts to be found. Brea AA resin from BB. Weighing in at only 24 grams with cap and ink. A nice little pant pocket FP.

The wax seal stamp was made to match the pen, cabachon by Dawn, you know.....the one that made Ed4copies famous :D

Thanks for looking, as allways, comments welcome. :)

Nothing that new, just refining the choice of drill bits used and easier to make tubeless with the use of the new pin chuck BB is selling , runs very true. Still it comes down to hand fitting the parts.
 
It looks to be El Grande or a Ligero did you tap the body to accept the nib feeds threads or turn down the coupler and counter sink it in the body?
I am not familiar with the Ligero kit if that is what you used so I guess the coupler may not need modification.
 
Now THAT is cool stuff. I like the no pen parts thing. I have done a couple of things playing around in the past, and when I get back to ever turning a pen......well, This is the kind of stuff I will shoot for. Thanks for the inspiration, Anthony. Beautiful work.

Nope, I tapped the inside of the pen barrel to hold the nib.
It is an El Grande nib, threads are 10x1.00 metric.

Thanks for the comments
 
Anthony,

I think this is one of the better pens that you have made in a while. Great design. Excellent choice of materials.

I'm guessing it's closed until you open it again, could be days!!![}:)][}:)][}:)]

Sorry, had to do it.

Anthony, pretty neat!

You really have to watch how you word things around here.
