The new Herald should be ready for production within a couple of weeks.

This new idea is still gelling, I guess...but if you like this design, I can certainly get to work. I just need to take a break from making them and figure out my pricing structure.

(pricing a pen is more difficult than making them...)

So the lucite...does it come in other colors? smile.gif

Yep.

I'm going to do one in red/black ebonite with amber lucite next.

Is there a link to available colors so we may go window shopping? smile.gif

Of lucite, no. Of acrylics, yes...soon.

I'm updating the "custom orders" page now.

And here I've just promised SWMBO that the next pen (a full sized Sailor with 21K nib) will be the last I'm going to buy (at least for a while...).

Bravo Brian! Simply you have come out of shadow of Nakaya and re-created your own.
Very good indeed! Waiting for your announcement of final production.
Best wishes,
Abhik.

Being acrylic, does the blind cap reveal the ink's color? If so, coooool!

Actually, I haven't filled it yet. I'll tell you soon. The acrylic is not totally clear...it's smokey, so maybe not. But at completely clear blind cap might just do that.

Nice new eyedropper! I predict it will instantly become your top selling pen, because people on this board tend to go for eyedroppers.

Did I read that you are redesigning the Herald?

Yep. I'm eliminating the black centerband, and the trim ring on the barrel, so the threads will be integral to the pen material.

Prototype is almost done, and I should be in production mode in a couple of weeks.

I eagerly await the photos of the redesigned Herald. The design changes all seem to be good ones.
