Sorry Jim but I'm with Brian on this one. The workmanship is outstanding but too elaborate for me.

I'm one of the "not sure about this" I look at t and think what a lot of work and craftsmanship has gone in to making this pen.. But.!!

I'm not sure it works, as Brian says, it is very busy, but well made and turned.. Just glad I don't live up the A1 :pray:

Take a guess
Excellent workmanship & attention to detail Jim :bravo:

Not really to my taste, but when it comes to selling things that`s usually a good sign.
