I got this nib and section at a local market near my work. The body was toast so at the time I thought I could get enough parts to put a pen back together. Well that was not to be so while I was going through my stock drawers of both material as well as pen sections I found the section again. The green body was a sample from a company I think In Germany and the green top was from one of my dad's old screwdrivers that I had borrowed years ago.
- Length capped 136 mm
- Cap thickness12.75 mm
- Body thickness 11 mm
- Nib tip to end 121 mm
- Cap length 60 mm
This pen is quite thin compared to my other pens as the section on this one was only 8mm so I was able to make myself a much thinner pen.
The nib is a wrap around Sheaffer which I love and the section still had a working sac on it so right now it is a squeeze filler, meaning you squeeze the sack till full.
Screw drives are something that I keep an eye out for at garage and estate sales because I love reusing old stuff to make something new and beautiful.

I really love the top, but I can imagine that the whole pen has a really nice balance.
I'm telling your Dad what you did with his screwdriver...that you BORROWED...doesn't that mean that he'll be getting it back. ha ha
Always love the transparent plastics.
