Dan very kindly sent me one of the samples batch to make, so here's my findings.
Its photographed below alongside a Roman Harvest, and the comparison was for good reason. Two points to note, the size, a little smaller than the RH, and the Nib, not an egotists pen! The high end pens are suitable for those who want to convey a power image, yet this pen is discreet in its design, stylish yet free from bling. Its a nice size, what you might call an everyday pen that wouldnt be out of place being used in a construction site meeting or the like. Discreet style, its use a bit similar to wearing a good pair of leather shoes if you get the analogy.
Turning wise, simple, Straight barells but a very very discreet widening in the middle might just be appropriate on the cap to try and incorporate the slightly oversized clip ring which is a bit bigger than the cap finial which it should be but perhaps not quite as big as it is. The two rings that fit over the compression fittings into the main barrel are different sizes but not that different and I'm sure that some will inadvertently put them on the wrong ends.
Not a lot more to be said, its a lovely pen, metal threads, stylish, well designed, and being slightly smaller than the high end kits and not so blingy, this is going to be a good £60 pen for the executive who likes to use a fountain pen at work.
Heres the pics:
