I should have taken greasy fingerprints of the barrel before I photographed it.

Peter,

Its a lovely pen, but I'd put my bottom dollar that it aint Cocobolo!! Are you sure that it isnt Bocote? Cocobolo is dark red and black if grown in Mexico turning towards Orange the further south through Central America that you travel.

Only thing that would add to that picture for me is a lighter background.
Sorry, the pen looks fine but the pic isn't so great.

Yes I agree, I was being lazy and used my tree stump, trouble is it is wet after all the rain and looks quite black.

Lovely pen peter :thumbs:

It looks very much like a TB Euro gun metal kit, I bought some in my first order from them & really like the look of them.
