Churchill/El Grande

[Dario]

Is there a pen kit that looks like Churchill or El Grande but not plastic? Especifically the nib and center band section.

Thanks!

Dario,
The CB is easy to hide/embed, and Rick K. has a tutorial coming out on his method for making a wood sleeve to go over the grip section. Sorry it's not another kit, but I don't know of any similar kits that don't at least have the plastic section. Btw, in my experience, many fountain pen fanatics don't really care for a metal grip section. They prefer something "warmer".

FYI.. that is exactly my reason for how much I like the Churchill - El-Grande & El-Toro designs, I HATE the metal grips! I mean the Gent. design is the best of the metal due to it's shape, but the tapered metal just does not do it for me. If I could get a Jr. Statesman with a Gentlemans style (or better yet, Chuchill) fringer grip I would really like that design.

As for the original question, I think the Sedona is the most "Churchill like"
