I have a couple of them recently.. Spot on and a really nice bit of LP.

Out of interest, did the nib screw in the the main barrel ok? I have a couple of kits and both don't fit very well and had to tap them out again..

The Jr Gent kit was all ok on this occasion Eamonn but I have taken to inspecting them all very carefully before I use them due to past problems, I'm also being careful when pressing the components together

I tend to shy away from the gold plating these days, it does look good with that LP though Billy:thumbs:

Yes London Plane is a top timber, shows that we dont always have to use exotic timbers to get good effects, got my last lot from lignaterrae excellent quality, will have to get some more.

I hadn't realised how nice this wood looked on a pen myself Billy, until l Eamonn put some in the post for me a while ago, the beautiful photography of this pen really shows off how nice a pen looks carrying this wood, very nice indeed .. :thumbs:
