[heymatthew]

PRICE DROP! $195 OBO.

Continuing the thinning of the fountain pen herd in favor of more practical pieces for daily use with this large custom pen from Carolina Pen Co.

Matte ebonite with mother of pearl finial inlays. Inked once. Includes an EF ruthenium steel nib.

Asking $195 OBO. No trades.

Thanks
Matthew

Mathew. You have darn good taste.

Mathew. You have darn good taste.

Thank you!!! I agree it's a lovely pen, but just too large for me for daily use. Sort of impractical as a pocket-carry option, which is what I'm basing my "keepers" on.

Could you give measurements (length and diameter of the grip section) or some size comparison with well known pens?

Additionally, what size of the nib does it use? standard JOWO #6?

[heymatthew]

Some dimensions based on my calipers:

Capped Length: 143.2mm
Uncapped with Nib: 138.5mm
Uncapped to Front of Section: 115.7mm
Section Diameter (Smallest): 11.8mm
Section Diameter (Largest, Near Threads): 12.7mm
Section Diameter (Largest, At Front Flare): 12.7mm

This pen isn't really made to post, but it will (fairly securely, I might add). Dimensions posted are:
Posted Length with Nib: 178.5mm
Posted Length to Front of Section: 153.5mm

The pen takes a standard No. 6 JOWO Nib Unit.
