I've remade the slimline desk pen so it uses standard cross refills. Also the "center barrell" is now a sleeve that fits over the upper and lower inner shell which incorporates the end cap and grip sections. Im working on a clip so that it can be either a pocket or desk pen.

I'm intending to launch this design as a new kit if I can persuade marksman to make up the front and rear sections all nice and shiny. I've finally sorted out the brass tubes needed to Kitify the design leaving the center section sleeve to be turned up in whatever material....... even Polymer lol......... The beauty of the design is that you could even sell a gift box fo the ladies with various center sleeves to match their infinite shoes and handbags. I need the sections productionised as simply they take too much time doing them individualy in aluminium
So Guys tell me is anyone interested in such a kit?
