Metal Cap Makers?

[supratalix]

Hey there, everyone!

I hope I've made it to the right place. I've had a few custom pens from people like Edison and I'm currently looking for someone who can modify a favorite pen of mine. I have a visconti Manhattan and I wonder if there's someone could

- construct a metal cap with a clip

- cut an ebonite/urushi feed and add a new nib

As far as I understand, both of these requests are out of left field for many custom pen makers. Does anyone know who I would start speaking with to get this kind of thing rolling?

Do you need a metal cap for a specific purpose? Or, do you want a metal cap due to appearance?

I have no suggestion on a source for a custom metal cap with clip, but I do have a suggestion if it is for appearance, go with an overlay, certainly in Sterling Silver, and possibly in other metals, or Sterling Silver with some type of plating. There are some people who could do an overlay on a Visconti Manhattan cap that matches the rest of your pen and it would have Visconti Furniture, including a Visconti Clip.

It would be purely cosmetic. I just really like the look of a metal cap on a pen body. An overlay sounds like a good plan, do you know someone who does them?
