Hi all,
Here's one I just finished a few days ago - a new take on a style I was calling 'Micro Pocket Pen' when a I made a bunch a few years back. The original style that I used had threads on the end of the barrel, onto which the cap could be screwed. I didn't real like the look of the exposed thread, however, so hadn't made any of these for some time. I decided to have another go at this style, but allow for a friction-fit for posting the cap, and am much happier with the look.
As you can see, the point of this style is that the pen be super compact when closed. When posted, the length is comfortable for writing.
The nib is a medium steel Bock nib, and the fill mechanism is cartridge only (barrel would have to be significantly longer to allow for a converter).

These pens are priced at $150 USD (plus shipping, which is about $15 to US/Canada). Please PM if interested.
Thanks for looking!
