The same comments I made on the last Snakeskin I have never made one with the magnetic top does it feel it would stay in place?

I love the pen overall, but I don't really like the nib end. Look so simple and not proportion to the rest of the pen body. As for the magnetic cap it is something different from the normal screwed on type pen but my customer and myself love it because it is so slick

I like the finish and what you have done with it..:thumbs: looks superb.

Not sure about the kit tho, I did one a while ago but the cap wasn't that secure. A few people liked them but with the cap not being secure it put people off.

If the cap is a better fitting now then the kit may be worth doing again..

Top marks tho, looks spot on..

I heard a lot of comments on the caps, however the one I have are all okay. Perhaps the manufacturer has improved on it quality control.

The kit has a rather odd profile nib which doesnt suit people who hold their pen very close to the nib. However, for those who hold it normally, it is a resonably comfortable pen. I ordered one and had it on my stand last weekend, lasted 20 minutes, now got 30 on order.The lid stays in place fine but I wouldnt want to use the clip to hang it on the inside of a jacket pocket, nor would I advise that with a vertex.

I wounder how long it will be before the nib section gets scratched up from taking the magnetic cap off and on?
I have a few out there and no complaints so far.

Changi is now a industrial estate for the Aerspace industries so how to find snake there? Maybe I have better luck if I approach our local zoo!

As for the attached photo, which year it taken? I suspect in the early to late 60 ish?
