    Default Custom Fountain pens

    Hi everyone, I am new here and was wondering whether anyone knows of any reputable custom fountain pen makers. I am talking about the whole pen custom, not kit pens. I want to pick the blanks and everything else, preferably fit a jowo #6 nib with converter ability. I have a pen by Renee Meeks, beautiful pen I might add. Just looking for any other pen makers as talented as her!


    thanks

    I've seen some lovely pens by Jonathan Brooks (Carolina Pen Company--he makes his own blanks, too) and Dr. Ken Cavers.

    Also, while I don't remember the woman's name, Scriptorium Pens has shown some lovely work.

    I think that's the Renee Meeks referred to in the OP?

    Brian Gray is Edison Pen Co. Then there is Brad Torelli for total custom insanity. There are many more.

    Nice work. I like Pandora's Box. Hiding the colourful section like that until the cap is removed is an innovation. I also like the slender red ink window on Pandora's Crimson.

    In France, Matthieu Faivet and Fred Faggionato, and in Spain, Gimena and Romillo Pens.

    In India, Fosfor Pens and ASA Pens both offer custom pens.

    Beautiful pens and you've mastered a good process for making them, that is an amazing accomplishment in itself.
    Do you have a silver band ring that is inspired by the Hagia Sophia by any chance?

    That's a nice pen - reminds me of a Parker Vacumatic. Is it made of modern celluloid?

    Per Fisher of Pens, it's vintage French celluloid. The Parker resemblance was my main attraction to it.
