really, really weird pen that i have

i have something interesting to share :)

this is one of the strangest fountain pen i own.

well, i am not even sure this thing can be called a fountain pen :)

all the parts are made of solid aluminum 6061 T6.

ink storage, eyedropper style

even the FEED was made of ALUMINUM!!!

the feed has gone missing unfortunately,,,

may have to make a feed for it someday, out of ebonite, or metal??!

but that's for later...

due to the way it looks, it's called "the teardrop pen"

the nib is teardrop shaped.

unfortunately sheet nib in such design will not function properly,

because it is simply too thin and too long to write with!

oh yea, BTW, this fountain pen can be used as a lethal weapon.

just dip the point in poison and use it as a stabbing weapon!!

gotta be careful with this stuff.

hope ya'll enjoyed it :)

PS: check out the "fountain pen making" section of the forum, to see my other interesting posts, thanks!

You're right. That is weird.

Very pretty but probably impractical. I've seen linen used to make a feed, quite successfully I understand. You might try that as a temporary expedient, just to get a writing sample.

You're right. It is weird. I wouldn't attempt trying to get through airport security with it. :crazy_pilot:

Are you sure that´s not a surgical instrument ? :pound:

It could probably be used as one. :)

The nib is surreal...does it have tipping? Do you know who made it?

nope, no tipping.
