Grumps don't look !!! Today a neighbour was looking at the Baron FP that I made yesterday and ordered the same pen but in green acrylic ...sorry Grump. Hope they like it. Although I have already sold a couple of Streamlines on my pen website this is my first made to order pen ....chuffed or what !! Have a look and tell me if its OK. Soz about the picture quality ..the light was going when I took the shots.

I don't gonna knock ED I'll leave the cruel comments for George and he happens to be sitting right next to me at the moment so I won't tell you what he said.
Its well finished, nice style, very well fitted and I am pleased you have a commission I am sure the new owner will be pleased as punch with it.
Just a shame about the disgusting colour.

Ed, Looking at your pen the colour is immaterial to me the choice of blank is yours the receiver has gone out of their way to purchase it and for me this covers the basics completely. Selling can be quite a buzz at this stage for you two now I share your happiness and thank you for showing.

Kind regards Peter.:thumbs:

Lovely looking pen, if it's what the Client wants, then it's perfect.

Looks really well made, and I'm sure will be the first of many you make to order!! :thumbs:
