El Grande

[Bernie Weishapl]

Was wondering if any of you pen turners had a El Grande Fountain pen kit still in the package. I got a little aggressive when trying to square the ends of the blanks. It blew the blanks. I ordered new brass barrels but they are the same size and I think the fountain pen lower brass should be shorter than the pen kit. If I could get some measurements it would be a big help. Thanks.

Fountain Pen: 55/64

Thanks Paul. I will give it a measure and see what I come up with.

Bob I think they are to but I think the Ink Pen kit is slightly longer. Thanks for the help.
