:thinks:.

First glance is it looks nice, then it loos really nice. You certainly come up with some nice kits and some nice blanks Johnny. but I don't think they go together in my view.

OMHO.. :goesred: but I think the blank would have looked really nice on a simpler kit as the blank is too busy in my book. Visa versa for the kit. I like both on this but not together sorry.

Nothing wrong with thee way its turned and finished tho..:thumbs:

Only my opinion mate, nothing personal..

That beats the band Johnny literally normally a band with all its got going for it would dominate and feature. Hey it is incredible that Barry Gross produced a hugely wild blank you found the kit it would stand out like a beacon on the sales table and from my recent experience fly off the shelf for a great price. What a show stopper and a gob stopper mate. Outrageous selection that I love.

A beautifully crafted pen. The kit looks high quality and the blank is stunning. Like Silver, I am not sure that I would have put them together because I would want to make a feature of the fancy gold cap ring on one pen and of the blank on another, but we each see things differently. It is obviously well made and eye catching and, if you are selling it, I doubt whether it will be in your stock for long.

Firstly Thanks for all your honest opinions, I agree the Blank is a busy blank, I personally love the way the pen looks and have had a lot of feedback mainly from IAP and FB.
One feedback in particular was made by "David Broadwell" the actual designer of the Nouveau Sceptre FP and It cannot get any better than that , He loves the pen and Blank :drool:
chuffed to bits.
