Amber acrylic & black Ebonite kitless

[haskoson]

This one was turned last week on my woodlathe.
The barrel is made of a special amber acrylic, section and cap are made of german black ebonite.
The fountain pen is clipless and not postable.
The barrel has a blindcap to load the converter without the need to unscrew the whole barrel.
It has a classic "Cigar"-shape, and a fine Bock #5 twotone steel nib with a Schmidt converter.


length opend: 123mm
length closed: 135mm

length of cap: 65,3mm

barrel min. diameter: 14,0mm
barrel max. diameter: 15,1mm

cap min. diameter: 14,7mm
cap max. diameter: 15,1mm

section min. diameter: 9,2mm
section max. diameter: 10,8mm

weight (incl. nib & converter), caped: 24,35g
weight (incl. nib & converter), uncaped: 15,39g

The pictures are a bit blurry, sorry for that, still learning to make good photos...

Thanks for looking.
Comments and critics are welcome.

It looks like a very nice pen.
But one thing strikes me. You say: "The barrel has a blindcap to load the converter without the need to unscrew the whole barrel." I don't understand why unscrewing the blindcap - and not seeing the amout of ink coming into the converter - is better than unscrewing the whole barrel with the same gesture and a good look at the ink level, apart from being tricky, which is always funny anyway? Please enlighten me.
