Looks :thumbs::thumbs: great.

Who supplies that component set?

Les

Hi, Les. That's not a kit. I made all of the metal parts - primarily nickel with some bronze accent parts, all fabricated from sheet and then soldered. The only purchased parts were the Bock nib and Beaufort converter (from Phil, of course).

Thanks, Peter (and all). The best part of this pen for me was learning some new techniques. In the end, we're all just trying to get better at what we do. Part of what drives that is the encouragement on this forum - thanks, all. Very positive place, this.

Now...what next? (I see a Guinness pen in my future!)
