One wouldn't load with the cartridge converter through the nib but drew through the converter alone and then added it to the pen; it works well that way. Never thought of trying that before.

 

That works fine but will wear the converter out quicker.  So if the pen starts to leak or drip when using it, swap in a new converter.

I agree with that as it will deform the seal over time. I'll see if it will load normally now. Thanks!!

Where can you buy Bexley Giant Fountain Pens? Do they have a website? I can't seem to find it.

Thank You

They have been out of production for years. That was the old Bexley co.

I saw one called an ultra giant listed on eBay recently

Bexley (and Howard Levy quasi-independently) made some very nice pens, plus a few dogs.  This was one of my favourites.

I really liked most of the Bexley designs and had quite a few.  Seems I had a bunch of “the dogs” because mine never seemed to write particularly well. It was one of the original piston filling Poseidon models (blue cap/section/piston knob and white/blue cracked ice barrel) that broke my heart for Bexleys (the nib wrote poorly and it gushed ink out of the section). I returned the Poseidon for repair and Bexley refunded my money; and sold most of the rest (I still have two).

That Red and Green marble one looks stunning.

Here's one I enjoy. A nice big pen, with a section not unlike the 1st gen Sheaffer OS Balance. I liked the partial transparency in the barrel but didn't want to muck it up as an eyedropper, so I made a transparent ink cartridge out of clear acrylic plastic tubing. No hardware to interrupt the eye. Old photo, as it now has a big Sheaffer Lifetime nib mounted.

That's beautiful!!!

Here's another Bexley pen I've enjoyed owning and using. The only photo I have at the moment is one that I also used for an announcement of one of our local pen club gatherings. I *think* this was a 20 Year Owner's Club pen (I purchase used):
