Antique Brass Kits

[Jim]

What are these kits like for wear? Does the plating fade or hold fast? They are not everyone's cup of tea but i quite like them ..

For me, the question of how long plating will last is an unknown across the platings. I've not had any pens come back yet with plating problems but that doesn't mean that there haven't been any problems.

I guess they will be just as good as other platings in that range.

I've never tried any of them myself but as you say Jim some of them do look the business. I think Johnny has done a few ?

Don't fancy buying something that looks second hand to start with.

One mans great unknown lines up with all the others IMHO read numbers of tech discussions on different kits it reminds me of motor car salesman. Mines better than those other ones we see and hear so often. Good luck to all who make and sell their pens you pay your money and take your chances. In this instance jim with that seller quoted you can bet London to a brick he Exotic Blanks Ed Brown has done his homework beforehand and yes like you the pics of pens made from that kit have appeal. As for guarantees the only real worn out pen shown to me was my sons who carried it using it constantly dropped from great heights on building sites etc was my sons still in use he is a tradesman Air Con installer on major projects still on the tools.

Just a thought I bought Antique Brass door handles, now where you touch the handle it is brass, the Antique coating has worn away.:nonono:
