The parts are available.   The hardest part will be making the groove for the 0-ring at the barrel end, but I suppose that that part of a barrel could be harvested and inserted in another pen.

Looking for someone who can make sheaffer's touchdown filling system from scratch, if anyone's able to do so please pm

 

@garif was making some great recreations.

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

Coming again eventurally I'm looking for someone in UK who make ebonite fountain with a cap clip without cutting the cap in two pieces (like namiki 50). I dont know why but It's kinda important to me. I'm looking for something to practise my laquer work on. Thanks. Just pm me if anyone's possible.

I think the only 'small' pen maker in Europe making caps with a slotted clip fit is Oldwin.  In the UK you'll find Twiss, Dens Pens, Black Robin, Rockster, goodness, lots more, but I don't think any of them use slotted fit clips.  You could get a Leonardo or any of several different Italian pens and take them apart, but you'll have to work around or over the trim rings that most of them have.

Good luck.

      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
