This is my first ProX kit from Signature Pen Supply, in antique bronze. The blank is an acrylic acetate called Cat's Eye. I really like the kit, it has some interesting details. The Cat's Eye blank is very nice, and compliments the pen well. Overall, very happy with the look of this one.

I have no idea why the photos didn't upload in order. I've noticed this forum does that sometimes.

After I pressed in the clip holder, I noticed the clip was raised off the pen. I disassembled it, bent it a little, and pressed it back in. Much better.

I had to do the same thing with the last one I made.

I was into precious stones etc for a long time and cats eyes bring back happy memories of fossicking, cutting etc. Love the blank , the pen is as you have a habit well turned and presented, thank you.

Personally Jim a relaxed clip is far better than many too tight ones , on some kits excess pulling them open makes them loose and spin on the pen something to be avoided IMHO.
