Some time ago I posted a report here in the forum. I presented the idea of replacing the common ebonite or plastic feed with a metal feed. In the past months I have continuously changed and adapted the profile. I have been using this fountain pen for a few months now. The ink volume under the nib is very large and therefore the ink flow is excellent, no drying of the ink and thanks to the weight the nib writes almost by itself. The brass feed I first coated with palladium, then with 24K gold. Palladium forms a barrier so that the gold coating is not absorbed by the brass and thus prevents corrosion.
As mentioned in my last post, it's made from a 6 mm brass rod, fit with a M:6 tread
Think different

Best regards,

Martin

Very nice! I can't say I've ever seen a metal feed before. Looks great. Curious, could you use platinum instead of gold, if the ink nib itself was gold, for contrast?
