That's really a beautiful pen Jim
I like that kit.
Keep showin' off them photos
Do you zoom in or get that close for the ''close ups''

A very nicely turned & finished pen, wonderful blank

Very nice, Jim - great theme pen!

Great looking pen Jim.

Heaps of depth in that blank makers these days are getting flame depth in their pours no pin holes there. THanks for taking the time out to show the details of the pen kit sure explains them well otherwise just one view misses most of the features. The German people dont own Eagles and birds of prey they adopt symbols from obscure beginnings how I miss Paul our resident bird man Where are you Paul?.

Over years we moaned about lack of diversity in pens the mass market has had a field day making them now the range is exhausting for us. I hear you saying where are the bushes, what size drill is needed. I follow closely the UK importers of pen kits and realise just what is involved in a new pen kit release amazing really.

Living in the land of IS for us in the land of WAS until our money devalued full marks for picking up Jim on the new, the good the different like them so much.

No, I don't zoom in, just crop the photos. This is one of the photos before it was cropped (but resized from the original file size).

Looks well done from here.
What's with the Nazi symbol at the bottom of the last photo?

Did you read all of my first post?

Nothing new in symbols they are all adopted from existing.

Peter.

love this and great pictures

I've not seen this kit before but I must say I do like it. The blank doesn't look too busy against the detail in the kit either. Very nice

Love the blank
Not sure about the kit

As for the bird design, as Peter says

Just look at bird designs used in ancient Egypt and other cultures

Well Jim I really like the whole thing, perhaps not the Prussian eagle with the swastika at the very bottom!

These kits have grown on me over the last few months Jim, this being no exception .. A great looking pen complimented with a nicely finished blank ..
