Can you ..........

[Les ELm]

See a problem here?

Is the gold centre band on the wrong way. The kit looks like an Ultra cigar pen kit

 

[yorkshireman]

You've turned the nib end too small

 

[Penpal]

From here it looks strange at the tip join I have not made any of these.

I can't see a problem Les, only opportunities to make improvements..

The center band is on correctly on the Ultra Cigar.

I am not sure it could be done, but it looks like you have put the finial where the centre band should be.

I thought the CB on the ultra was a much more tapered piece. having said that I thought the finial was threaded section to hold the clip on..

I know, just realised, there is only a 2/3 of the pen showing..

Not a kit I've made up Les but a google search suggests there should be another chrome band above the gold section on the nib, certainly in the picture I found this was so, this gave a smooth transition from blank to nib.

Looks like it doesn't it.

Exactly. I didn't make this pen, but the turner insisted that this is the way the nib section is supposed to look like.
This is the ones I make.

I suspect that the difference is that the ones you make Les are genuine Berea products whilst the one you showed in the opening post is a copy:

This is from the Berea website and shows a good fit between nib unit and blank:

This is from another supplier and has a step as in the OP:

I wonder what happened to the other band on the run, love yours Les.

 

[Penpal]

Northern exposure love your pen also Les. Looking for the comparison side by side with the first one.

All the Cigar Ultra or Elite I have look the same as the one in your post No 10.
