Y'all need to read post 17. The pen already had a new owner, but I am sure you could commission one for yourself.

A while ago I was asked if it would be possible to make a 139 inspired pen based on my replica barrels.I didn't make one so far so I thought "let's try it!".The goal was making a complete pen, including piston so I started from making whole unit from scratch.The idea was to have a piston taking as much ink as possible so there was lots of play between functionality and shortnes.The result was not as complicated in design as original but a whole lot more durable instead.(Final test showed in capacity 2,6 ccm.)

With piston unit ready the rest was just a question of hours of lathe work.Here's the result.The pen is made of ebonite and resin with white dot in casein, cap rings made of silver and goldplated brass.
