Hi, as collecting and restoring pen's for a few years now I finaly found my line and challenge... make the demonstrators I can't find or never made from my favorite pen's, designs or filling systems !

One of the easier ones to start with was a Big Red replica, nicely showing the button filler.

Comparing to other posts, I see there is still some progress to be done about polishing, but this was also related to the right PMMA type.

Anyway there is still a lot of challenges and trials waiting as Sheaffer, Montblanc.... are on the list.

Gladly hear your opinion and tips, as well I keep you updated !

Robert

AWESOME

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

That's a fascinating idea, and a beautiful pen! I've never seen a demonstrator button filler before, it's actually really cool. You know, this project is kind of educational; it could be a nice resource if you collected photos of demonstrators of all the different filling mechanisms in one place.

Yes Sir... already available !

 

And I like very much your proposals. For the vac-fil parts is no problem, but if you can get me a 303 or a accordeon bellow it would be possible too, the complete pen would be excellent to get the dimensions, have you ?

This is really nice, great work. I'm thinking this would be great to recover nibs and other working parts of old pens which became too brittle or had unreliable mechanisms... Or were simply too small like the Parker 75... Well, one can dream!

Indeed, I'm happy I made the post, the reactions support me to continue

I discovered an endless world of possebility's and as a Conid addict even pushed me in overdrive to develop my own rod filler... floating piston with non-return ball valve and seat.

The design seem to work on paper... has to be built !

To be continued...

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
