Eversharp With A Slip On Cap

I got this vintage nib a bit ago and today was the day to make a pen.  I used Delron on this one.

I had a customer who challenged me to make a pen with a matching friction fit cap.  After I made his I had to have one of my own.

I made two of them for him but they are in the mail so I will wait until he gets them before I post them.

Adding A Vintage Nib To A Twsbi Vac 700

This pen was a custom commission.
The customer loved the pen but wanted his vintage flexible nib in it.

The first thing and the hardest thing was to get the right sized hole on the section so that it is tight enough to hold it snug but not tight enough so that the nib still works right.  After that I had to match the threads that went into the body of the pen and install the O ring.

I have never used a flex nib before so I am not to sure how it will all work but it all fits and looks good.
