I have a friend who has asked me to make a fountain for a friend of his (gift). The receiver is a pen collector and my friend (this is getting confusing) wants to give him something he can't get elsewhere (custom made).
But as a pen collector, my feeling is that he will want to put a good nib on this pen after he gets it.
So my question is this: what kits do you folks recommend that will make a nice pen but that he will be able to get a better nib for.
(If you folks also recommend a place to get a great nib, my buyer might also buy a good nib for him.)
Also, what are the good places to get fountain pen kits? I'm going to have my buyer pick a kit and then I'll take care of getting the kit and making the pen.
Thanks in advance. Sorry for so many questions.
