Ivory coloured fountain pen with wine-red finials

[haskoson]

Hi everybody.
Today i finished a new pen and i wanted to get a bit slimmer with my pen design.
I think i really like the shape of this one.
The wine-red acrylic finials contrast just fine with the ivory-coloured JUMA.
It does post, but not very good. I should have done the barrel a bit thinner to post fine.
Now there´s the danger of ruining the threads inside the cap if you push the cap onto the barrel. Still learning...
The fountain pen holds a gold plated #5 Bock medium steel nib and is fitted with a Schmidt converter.
Barrel and cap are tappered with a smooth transition from barrel to cap.
The end of the cap is the point with the biggest diameter and the end of the barrel the smallest.
Again the photos do not have the best quality, a bit on the dark side esp. the wine-red colour of the finials... sorry for that.


Thanks for looking.
Comments and critics are welcome.

best regards

Gerrit you are on a roll with new fashioned fountain pens. Like you I am very worried when a non pen person grabs a carefully made pen and then proceeds to undo, pull apart , post your masterpiece. I admire those that sell especially on busy stalls. Great pen.

A very nice pen Gerrit, very well done.

A very nice and original design indeed. At first sight, I must say I thought a centreband was missing. At second sight I loved the pen without it!
Usually, when the barrel is as big as the cap with no step in-between, the step between barrel and cap-to-barrel threads is too big, which is not the case on your pen. Could you give the diameters of threads and barrel please?
I count 9 threads cap-to-barrel. Even with a triple start, it means 3 turns to lock. Not too much?

Congrats for this very nice-looking innovation.

Thanks to all of you for your kind words.

Could you give the diameters of threads and barrel please?
I count 9 threads cap-to-barrel. Even with a triple start, it means 3 turns to lock. Not too much?

Pierre, the threads have a diameter of 12mm (M12x0,75) and the barrel is 14,3mm in diameter near the threads.
The threads on the barrel (single start) are a bit to long, so i drilled them out in the cap a few milimeters, but the pen still takes 3 full turns to lock.


best regards
