My ASA Galactic came with a small size 4 or 5 Ambitious steel nib. Never liked the arrangement much as the small nib looked mismatch with the large pen. Had always wanted to modify this pen in minimum two areas :
a) Fit a 40 mm Ambitious Nib and
b)Deepen the barrel into the solid end so that the barrel end looks balanced with the tiny cap finial. Time was not enough.
Finally did the change today and feeling happy about it. I feel the pen is looking better with the three following modifications :
1. The opacity of the brushed acrylic was reduced by polishing inside and slight smoothing the outer surface.
2. Section bore increased 5 to 7 mm to fit Ambitious 40 nb with a 6.3 mm diam feed.
3. The barrel bore deepened by 10 mm x 6.5 mm.
I hope others like it too! Thanks for viewing.
This is my first write up about the pen when it just arrived and this how it looked.
