Made this kit-less pen last night. It is a regular sized pen in dark brown ebonite. Schmidt size 5 nib and local converter fitted. The size and shape is from imagination, there were no drawing. Happy with what came up finally.Thanks for viewing and as always welcome your comments.
My low cost pens are very satisfying. I can not afford high end pens. Found these low priced pens [ as described in many pen collector forums] can be quite a lot of fun.
