Anyone got any experience turning this pen? Particularly ease of manufacture and whether its a popular pen or not? Did it sell well or not?

They are crap Neil when you extend the nib the clip turns with the top end and scratches the body part I made a few of them some years ago I couldn't even give them away so they went in the bin

To be honest Neil I cant see how it could be over come as the black top end including the clip are all one piece the black piece has to be turned to extend the nib and as you can see the clip will move with it and the other end rubs on the body part other than the clip issue they are a nice looking pen and the mechanism works well and the pen is well balanced I have just found one in with Violet collection she loves it

Would the clip be enabled by setting out a touch from the body after all it is of small moment in the scheme of things and overcomes this problem.
