Thats excellent Wilson, I've got to escape work now and get up to my shed to have a go

How have you fitted the nib holder into the cartridge and what does it look like with the cap on?

If you know the right people I can get them but it take a while

 

[Dalboy]

.50 cal used to be used by the British Army in the old Chieftain Tank

Last lot I got from Uk got confiscated in singapore.

I have a couple of 50 cal but I made lighters from them. not sure if I would it as a pen.
Not sure I like this one but that's only me again init?

Well this is a first for me Wilson, i have not seen a FP on a .50 calibre before, or any pen come to that .. Good effort my friend ..
