Walter pens are formal, informal, funny in other words they have prescence and character both your pen has it stood well on its own has a great dignity not out of place in her Majesties hand IMHO. The finish is immaculate and tailored the approach and departure of the shape at and after the band such the line continues the kit colour carefully sympathetic. There it is in its prime over there on the other hand is grain glorious grain forgiving hair out of place wild if you like.
I cannot separate either or both and set another parameter in my tiny mind sheer degree of difficulty. Loved your pen mate. Since the contest was for locals so to speak and the competition for all good reasons fell out over a long time we over here felt a little remote and our objectivity varied in fact my experiences with the competition was Peter put into this so much time and effort which has to be applauded and acknowledged trying so hard to be all things to all people.
