Mark, I have no problem with you taking this and going with it. This is not an official buy yet so all the details with Mannie still need to be cleared.
The Churchill is a two piece pen. The cap is removed from the bottom section when you want to write. This tap cuts the internal threads on the cap that is removed and the die cuts the threads on the bottom section that screws into the cap.You mean the cap that screws onto these pens?
Appreciate the back story there.
From pictures the Churchill looks like it does NOT screw on to the cap.
So are you guys making a pen with your OWN metal pieces with these tap and die sets?
The nib for an El Grande or Churchill is very close to a 10 x 1 mm single start. If you chase the threads with a die it works real well.What about the inside of the pen section where the nib screws in, what taps that? Do you need another set, or is that a standard metric single start thread found in a typical metric tap and die set?
