This was a bugger to ttake a picture of, I took around 40 pics with different backgrounds..:vangry:

Settled on Mat Black- shiny black and White.. yes white. Gold said it looks good on white, maybe because you cant see the bloody thing.:vangry:

Very nice pen Eamonn I think the shiny black has the edge for me the pen looks whiter and Rhodium appears more defined
