At a rough guess, I would say it's the same type of material as they used on the pen body.Thanks, itīs made out of some plasticlike or acrylic material.Congrats!

Re: What is your latest pen acquisition?
I can't find if I posted about these or not but just received them a couple days ago and finally inked them up. Had to do a little work on the 51.
45(deep red) is extremely smooth and wet. 51(blue gray) is pretty smooth for an F nib. Seems a tad dry but that makes it a good candidate for EDC

Re: What is your latest pen acquisition?
I received a Pilot Falcon Rhodium trim with a SM nib on Saturday and a Pilot Custom 91 fine nib today. I am doing a bit of Japan nib testing. All I need is a comparable Sailor as I already have a Platinum 3776 Balance (similar price range and size as the Custom 91). That way I can see which suits me more. Already the Pilot outperforms the Platinum out of the box. But they are both fun to write with.

This guy finally arrived. I don't think I've been this anxious for a pen to arrive since my 138.
Please excuse my less-than-stellar photos.

Re: What is your latest pen acquisition?
Silly price pen I could not refuse, Ebay at 99p and 49p carriage from China, took a fortnight to get to me, it needed the cap's hard edges filing, but it wrote perfectly from the first moment, filled it with J Herbin's Rose Cyclamen, sucked from a cartridge, I use the ink once a year for my Valentine card to my wife! Otherwise I'm not at all a fan of the ink, but the pen? For Ģ1.48 you'd be a very churlish person to ignore any minor fault with it, I think it's great...

Re: What is your latest pen acquisition?
I'd love to hear from you Cob about how you organise your bits and pieces and where everything comes from - you come up with such amazing Frankenpens!

Re: What is your latest pen acquisition?
Ha ha ha! thanks for that.
The secret is easily revealed: I am thoroughly disorganised; I spend far too much time browsing (eBay) and too much money buying junk pens in search of exciting nibs or even a decent clip etc. Thus I have a couple of boxes of dead pens - barrels and caps mostly and a pile of sections and feeds, levers, J-bars, some nibs and so on.
At present I am frantically rebuilding Onotos - not Frankenpens these! - as money has to come in as well as go out as I am sure you have noticed.
Best wishes
Cob
Re: What is your latest pen acquisition?
And this showed up today (Debating between Noodler's Blue Steel, Iroshizuku Tsuki-yo, R&K Salix, or Parker Penman Sapphire to ink it with first).

Re: What is your latest pen acquisition?
Pilot Varsity Mass Drop arrived. Just fooling around... But I really got them to giveaway. Always good to have pen you can let someone try and then tell them to keep it.

Re: What is your latest pen acquisition?
Just received this beautiful striated third tier Gold Medal pen with ink view window. Seems to have a Skyline like military clip. I love it and I haven't even inked it up yet.

Re: What is your latest pen acquisition?
Just got back from the LA Pen Show. I went with "ones": I bought one ink, one book, and one pen. Here's the pen*, #25 of 88 total...
It comes with one of these beautiful things in the business end...
* ... and the asterisk is because I left it with them for a nib that wasn't on-site, and I had to leave a day early, meaning that these are pics I found, not pics of my actual pen. I should have it by mid-week. This will be a sweet pen.

Re: What is your latest pen acquisition?
Jon, congratulations! I've been drooling over that pen since it was revealed on Nibs.com. Which nib did you choose?
