''Beautiful pen Angelo. I'm curious, I'm across the pond and not familiar with the kit. Can the black finial be removed to allow a custom matching finial?''
Mark, I was thinking the same thing.
The finial screws off and it looks like they poured that black Epoxy??? into it and let it cure.
Maybe that's why the finish on is not so great.
I might be able to cut that out and make up a new piece that matches the barrel and glue it into the cap/finial.
This is a ''snake skin'' kit from China, Rizheng
