I have always liked this pen with it's large nib so when this one broke I wanted to use the nib, but the nib has to be used with the correct feed so I could not just install it into one of my nib sleeves so I had to make a complete section around the feed and the nib. I made it to take a Cross refill as it has a tapered neck so I knew the seal would remain tight.
I really like that section & nib combo. Looks great! The Phileas has always had a special place in my heart because it was one of the first nice pens I ever bought. That and they are good looking pens, comfortable, have great nibs & never once let me down. I'm sure that pen is going to be as great if not better than the original.
