The plain 2 - redleaf ball point pen with a wing sung nib.

well, it can work with any hooded nib to be exact. so, here goes....

First, this poor pen broke into 2. it's new. After 3 rounds of repair and surgery i decided that although it seems fine, it is too weak to be used in the field, similar to murphy. It's alive, but dead if he is just stitched up and left to recover on its own.

 

Robocop.

That's what came to my mind when this started. Thus, it is time to do the impossible.

Taking the most important units of the pen, the nib and the feed, i had it fixed to a new body, demonstrator and "state of the art". now doing the necessary tests to remove all leakages. the initial testings are promising. and like robo, this pen needs a couple of special tools to refill and ink, but other than that, i'm quite sure it will write very well.




 well, i am running out of time. so i skipped the 125 tests, or as Tony Stark puts it, skips the spinning clocks, and jumps straight into field testing. Thankfully it is working. so, another red leaf ballpoint pen turned into a fountain pen. This is the second redleaf ballpoint pen invention. Oh, that syringe is the refill tool, and it refills from the back, somewhat like a parker 61, except it takes only a second to do so.

there's a new guy in town....
