The detailing looks like the Lotus kit on Dayacoms site but the length of the blind cap and finish don't match.

DAYACOM INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD

Image filename indicates "Curly_mahogany_epic_long_cap_off" - could be the creator indicated it as an 'epic long' (edit: details below)

A reverse image search doesn't show an exact match from Google or TinEye

Meta data has been stripped from the file so that's no help either.

A direct image search on "Curly mahogany epic long" flags up Ryan Krusac Studios (Hand Made Fountain Pens).

Looking at this work I'd surmise that either he had Dayacom create a custom version for him, or he has modified and re-plated the kits himself.

Edit: Knew I recognised the name from somewhere - watched this when Dan Smith aka The Nibsmith (and was part of Fountain Pen Geeks) originally posted it.

Thank you Greg,

I did see the response from Simone but couldn't remember that plating. However I didn't look that closely at the designs.

Looking a second time I agree with you as it is not a Stock Lotus pen. Interesting designs tho and very close to the Lotus style.

Thanks Greg for all the info that's a great help. The pic was sent to me as an idea. I like the bronze and brass effect on fittings so i was pointed toward this.
