Are all pen lengths the same? It will be when the caps are on or the refill twisted in.

If they are the same size does anyone know why?

Exclude the novelty ones or the mini ones at the bookies.

No their not the same length... Especially fountain/ rollerball kits, they are similar but not the same..... The jnr Gent kits are longer than Omegas and I suppose you class the steampunk kit as novelty and that's loooong :thumbs:
It maybe something to do with hand sizes that make them similar :thinks::thinks:

Thanks for that mate :thumbs:

I wrongly thought they were they were all the same or all within say 3-5mm, my reasoning was balance of the pen as children and adults can use the same pen with none having an advantage over the other :thinks::thinks:
