Beautiful! I love full custom rollerballs! Really nice design and material on this one, and unique use of threads.

Speaking of the threads, I have a question about your single "bank" of threads for the cap and body --- what prevents the front section from inadvertently unscrewing from the body as you remove the cap? If you happen to screw the cap on tightly, I imagine the whole section might unscrew next time you unscrewed the cap?

constructive design.

Cap takes 1/4 to 1/2 turn and the body has tapering threads at the end to wedge the nib in place depending on how tight you turn it. The threads are not tapered on the cap and will not wedge in place.
 
Nicely done sir. One benefit to using those Schmidt's is that the Schmidt #5 fountain pen nib and feed are the same size and your pen can become a fountain pen if desired.

Where did you buy the nib feeder?

The pen looks wonderful.

Thanks for the info!!

This is a great piece, and the rollerball is a lot easier to 'move' in Arkansas. At least in my 'circles', this is a well thought out and design 'kitless' pen!
