These parts will allow one to build a new pen design. I imported these front sections directly from the this famous manufacturer. The set includes one front section (with fine nib), the seal, a threaded bushing, and a black or gold plated ferrule. I'll enclose some drawings and other parts I used to make pens with these, which you may need or not. The quality is excellent. The nib is steel, with gold plating, and is only available as a "fine" size . The nib size is fine and it has inscribed "Reform, Germany". I am including a Schmidt pump converter- I am now out of the Mutchler ones that are shown in the picture. Click on the thumbnail for a (slow loading) large image. This nib works with regular cartridges (Mont Blanc style).

Schmidt
Front SectionsMaking your own pen design? This front section is made by Schmidt of Germany, a company that supplies parts world-wide to pen making companies. They are renown for their quality and precision. I believe these are vastly superior to the Asian knockoffs you see in pen kits. The writing quality is excellent. This allows you to make a more slender pen than the Mutschler parts above, for less cost.
Also available: rolling writer front section that converts the pen seamlessly. 10 for $30, gold or chrome.
Also available: Parker vector front sections. $1 each.
I
have bushings available like in the sets above. The female threads in the
bushing receive the (8mm x .75 mm I think) male threads of various front
sections, and for kits, it fits the Junior Gentleman, the Junior Retro, the
Panache, the Jr. statesman, the Jr. Emperor, and the Junior Majestic. The outer
surface has grooves to improve glue adhesion .The size is .919" x .352".

Schmidt .5mm pencil mechanisms. This is part of the German manufacturer's system
that allows you to make a Parker format pen that can also be converted to a
mechanical pencil. These .5 mm mechanisms are high quality -- they work great, no
jamming. The actuation is by pushing the pin on top. You'll have to do a little
engineering, but this is an excellent component. You can see this system used in
high quality art pens, some by "Lexon." There are 2 leads each.
Erasers in plastic cups are included (not shown). Other parts
included to make the pencil convertible to a pen.
Threaded
Inserts, brass, by Yardley Products. These accept a 4-40 size screw. $12 for 100 pieces including shipping. They push nicely into wood or other soft-ish materials. They have a flange for a clean result.

Twist
mechanisms (sometimes called transmissions)-- this is the mechanism that operates a twist action pen.
I think these do not work with pen kits. It is
about .25" diameter by 1.4" long, steel and brass, and the action is 1/2 turn
with a slight locking at the end. These are for use with Cross type refills, but
you can use your imagination for other applications.
