Hello pen friends.

This acrylic was sourced from the famous Omas pen factory when it closed down and it’s a really lovely colour combo (IMO).

I put a purple liner in the barrel so the cap threads matched the section to give a bit of continuity.

I’m pretty happy with it and like the way the orange enamel finial coin looks. The accent rings are sterling.

The clip is bought from Beaufort, and the nib is a Jowo no6. Inside there is a screw-in Schmidt converter.

Cheers
Ash

The orange and purple really do go well, not a pairing I'd have thought off, so we'll done....Great turning and finish as always:drool::drool:

That's a great work! I always wanted to ask you: do you make the cap finial ornament (that "splash") by yourself, kind a "lost wax" technique, or resin work, or.....? LE: Just saw the mention of "enamel"... although I know what enamel is, that makes me more confused because I don't know the technique! :))))
