Re Pen Cap Specification For A Waterman’S Ideal #2 Info Request From Farhan

[farhanc]

Hello

I have a question I am making a Franken pen using a vintage nib Section 1 Waterman’s Ideal #2 nib. I need idea on minimum size for my cap section of pens. I have spoken to a person in Florida who makes Sterling Silver pen parts. I need to know diameter of the cap so I can order a band for the cap of my pen as I don't want to get wrong sized band.

Also artistically what would be a good band thickness? A thin band or thicker band.

Any help appreciated.

Yours

Farhan(London England)
