Hi,
this was a commission for a fountain pen collector. It was to be in Green and Gold as requested except i only had 3/4 and the green is quite hard and brittle, so it broke. More ordered and am trying to appease him bu offering this one as a demo until the other arrives. There is a tiny mark where the drill bit touched the clip when i was removing the crystal so i wouldn't have sent this one anyway. I was wondering whether mirror paint might bodge it unnoticeably.
Black is trustone 'Jet' and quite soft, well ish.
Broad nib as requested.
The lower barrel is round as its easy to go out of round as i don't have any expanding mandrels yet.
Be brutal please as thats the only way i can improve.
Regards
Pete
