This a Jr Gent fountain pen finished in CA. The blank was given to me by Jim but there was no name on it just a load of question marks written on it. If anybody can identify it I'll be most grateful. The wood is easy to turn and is quite oily!!!

It could be cocobolo Terry. I was given some a while ago and the markings weren't as pronounced as normal, like yours.

Terry,

There are so many mysteries in my collection of blanks quite a few unknowns will appear that at the time were household names alas father time. When you give the pen unless you stress the receiver will be very content with your pen it has colour interest and good shape therefore it qualifies.

Kind regards Peter.
