I finished this set at the weekend and the box arrived today, thank you Beaufort! The new owner picks them up tomorrow to give to his lovely wife.
They are Mistral ball point and rollerball pens with Rhodium fittings and black titanium accents. Using Silverlake diamond cast acrylic.
The sparkle on them is amazing!

Mistral pens are, in my opinion, one of the very best kit pens not least because of their versatility and you have used the fittings to perfection with an acrylic I have not seen before. Your buyer (and his wife) will be delighted with a truly professional pen set. Incidentally, I made a Mistral biro many years ago ( probably not long after they were announced) using a classic Conway Stewart blue acrylic with gold fittings and a satin gold centre band. I use this regularly and the wear evident is negligible so you can be assured the lovely pens you have created will last a long time.
