I was given this today, its one of the Fountain pens that me and my dad made.

Looking at it I think its been left in the gift box that it was given in.

I can't remember when it was but looking at the kit I think it was around 1999 or 2000. I can't even remember the kit, I have looked through the many old assembly instructions today but cant find it..

This is one of the first FP kits I can remember coming on the market at the time. made using Kingwood

Also in the box was a slimline, I think this one was a much later kit. Made using Bocote.

So come on, post you first pens,. it doesn't matter how old they were or what kit type, lets have a look at how your turning skills have come on over the days, weeks, months or even years..
