Hi its a George Watkins...."from the tree" blank he cast some special blanks, easy to turn and finish and always stunning...
Dan is now stocking Dan Pompe blanks which have cones in....but i have no experience of them
I would have used a rhodium or chrome. The gold nib looks really nice touch and matches the blank well but I think all Gold would have been too heavy.. I think the blank deserves Rhodium personally.
I like what you have done, like the kit, the blank and the finish but not together for me.. Then again I am a grumpy old git that knows nowt and doesn't have any taste at all..
When I looked at your pen Mark I thought what a great idea to have black in the front part turns out its gunmetal photographs pure black to me. I have noticed over time a consensus with platings a large number of preferences are for black or gun metal. It is personal mate for me its a ripper as you made it right about the blank.
