Hello

I have a question I am making a Franken pen using a vintage nib
1 Sheaffer 33 or 3-25 nib. I need
idea on minimum size for my cap section of pen. I have spoken to a
person in Florida who makes Sterling Silver pen parts. I need to know
diameter of the caps so I can order bands for the cap for my pen.

What I am looking for is diameter of the original cap that Sheaffer used so that can I can tell the silver parts manufacturer what dimensions on the cap is at it's widest part. The band will be 3mm-4mm thick.

Also artistically what would be a good band thickness? A thin band or
thicker band.

Any help appreciated.
