Very nice Paleo I do like the old Parker type pens there was a time when that style pen was the bees knees and it was the first kits I ever made up I made 6 sets using Ebony and every one of them split the next day that was a big learning curve a goodly few years ago thank you for showing it

You could have cleaned the nib before taking the photo :funny::funny::funny:
Seriously though that is a really nice pen finished perfectly :thumbs:
I'll be happy if my first fountain pen turns out half that good :pray:

That's a great first effort, I remember doing those kits before I discovered how I wasn't keen on them and went to different ones.
Next thing you need to do with it is fill it up and put it on a plane addressed to Peter so he can see if it leaks in flight. :funny::funny::funny:
