Blue Hard Rubber Click Pen

I found some really nice pens the other day.

Now I love how these pens write with a .5 needle point on them but the body left a bit to be desired so this is what I came up with to house this really nice refill.

I used some blue/black ebonite that I had and I was quite pleased at how it all turned out.

Orange Hard Rubber Pilot G2 Refill Holder

Everyone knows I love the Pilot G2 refills but the plastic bodies are a bit wanting so I made my own.

Orange Black Hard Rubber Comission

This was a custom commission modeled after my 51 style pens.

It had to take a long Waterman cartridge and have a F nib.

The ebonite was some stock I got a while ago from a vendor in Germany and it is a really nice color.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is now on it's way to it new owner and I was a little sad to see this one go,

Orange HR Wearever Repair

I got this pen the other day and it looked as though someone had tried to drill some holes with the nib.

I had an Esterbrook 3556 Osmiridium tip nib that I was able to install into it.

 

I kept the HR feed so if I ever find a nice nib for it I will be able to reinstall it.
Any way another nice pen that I am able to get up and going and it will take the full range of screw in Esterbrook nibs as a bonus.

Wyvern Cap Repair

I bought a small lot of pens the other week that all needed a bit of love.

The first one I am working on was the Wyvern hard rubber.

It is the first English made pen that I have ever had.

My first thought was like the previous owner to just make up a new cap.

After looking at it though I did not think there was a chance that you would be able to match the material so my other choice was to do a straight black cap.

Well after looking at it a bit I trimmed off the lip of the cap as I only had to take off about a 32th of an inch.  Next I used some industrial glue that we have at work for gluing together rubber and wicked it into the crack. 

After re shaping the lip I think it will be fine.  You can still see the crack but it is solid and the cap also had the cap rings for strength so I left it alone.

Bonus is that it writes like a dream

Any way I have kept the pen complete and it will be in my pocket for a while now.
