Advice please!!

[flexi]

I have just completed a commission on a Gents fountain pen and the customer is very happy but has now asked for a postable cap, does anyone know of a pen with a #6 nib and postable cap

I don't know of any kit that takes a 6 nib that also is postable

these kits take a 6 nib but I don't know if any are postable, I know some are not,

SN Gent Pen Kits
Roman Harvest Pen Kits
Cambridge Pen Kits
Majestic Pen Kits
Statesman Pen Kits
Emperor Pen Kits
Lotus Pen Kits
Bamboo Pen Kits
Gentleman's Pen Kit.

The simple logic behind such a beast is that the weight of the top on the pen would mean you would need a wrist brace after ten minutes. Can I suggest you get a senior gents or equivalent and a lump of blue tack and stick the top on the end of the pen and ask your client if that is really what he wants. Suspect that he might opt for one that Peter has listed or a jr gents 2 or castellated.

So what nibs come as standard with the fountain pens we get, like the Omega, Sedona, Jr gents etc?

#5 ie 5mm I don't think there is one either

There are a few #5 nib pens that are portable - Jr Gents/Jr Gents II/Baron come to mind. Sedona too? Can't think of any 6's that are postable, although not too difficult to make a kitless that is postable if the customer has the dough.

Can you change them form a #5 to a #6?

I am sure you could with some work on a feed and housing.
