I figured I would give this a shot. I have a very nice copper J pen, but it is a double jewel style. It has the depest imprint I have ever seen on an Esty before and it perfect condition. I would like to swap pens (less nib, you keep yours, I keep mine as it has a 9788 in the pen. Mine is restored, polished, resacked and is in my rotation right now. I have a blue, red, and green transitional and this one is the odd man out.

I would entertain unrestored copper transitionals and even if you happen to have a spare copper transitional body only, I might be interested in it.

I am also interested in a gray of silver transitional, but not really for a direct swap for the copper. I want to put togather a set of transitionals as I like the closed end style better. I have the ability to make new jewels and major restoration work, yet I would rather stay away from chewed up cracked bodies.
