This little darling of a piston filler clocks in at 107mm capped. So the Rex Lady won by a smidgen in terms of smol-ness.
But it's slender, really reminds me of the Merlina. Now, if I can figure out how to open the piston filler mechanism without cracking anything, I can replace the cork inside.

FWIW, here is a similar no-name Italian pen, piston filler, with blind cap removed. Will can comment whether it looks like his in terms of the piston knob (sorry for the photo quality). This pen is just a tiny bit larger, around 110mm.

They's purdy.
My other pen is a Montblanc.

I'm sure you've heard of the Ora-Scol 227, another piston-filler. This lovely little Swiss pen is a massive 115mm long, capped. (a/k/a "Ora-Pen")
