Recommendations For A Glass Nib Pen With A "normal" Fp Body?

[Enkida]

Hey all, see title as above. I know these types of pens have been produced by Chinese manufacturers. I have need of a glass dip pen but I also have children who would gleefully break the European-Venitian style 100% artfully-blown glass bodied ones in under 5 minutes. So can someone point me to a good Chinese alternative here? I don't mind pretty but I need a sturdier barrel than glass. And maybe an ability to replace the nib if it got broken due to gleeful children... ;-)

 

Thanks! :-)

Delike Marupen

Thanks! I think I have seen this one (has the switchable to normal FP nib?) and it seems a bit short even for my not so big hands. Anyone know how long these are posted?

I think it's 142 mm with the glass nib, 136 mm with the FP nib.

Thank you very much! That's doable for me, will have to check with the large-handed husband if it will fly with him too. In the meanwhile, more recs are always welcome :-)

You can find glass dip nip unit ( Moonman ) online retail , and they are pretty much universal on any pen equipped with Moonman nib unit ( plenty ) so your choice of a pen body that fits is quite likely possible, and Marupen cannot be posted , this is my Nile Blue Marupen and you can see the glass nib unit there

Ah, my bad. I was giving the size of the MO+ZE pocket pen, which I thought was a Marupen. It's this one:

Edit: oh wait, that cleared that up. Wrong pen, wrong size, ahaha. Thank you, I will look into the Moonmans

Thanks all for the help, I went with a Moonman in that green fall colour in the end.

Just wanted to thank everyone once again, I went with a Moonman in that pretty green and yellow fall colour scheme, a pocket pen because I liked the concept of the screw-on cap (on both sides of the pen). It should get here next month. Cheers!
