Hi Everyone
By Popular demand and consultation with quite a few pen turners, we have updated the pen to remove the evil black band, improved it further to eliminate the cross-threading issue.
I have an WWF special- $19AUD Roman Harvest Pen Kits (http://www.timberbits.com/roman-harvest-rollerball-and-fountain-pen.html). $1AUD is roughly equal to $0.97USD. Normal price is $25AUD
Price is for a single pen kit. Rollerball and Fountain pen versions are the same price.
We now have 3 plating combinations;-
1. Gold Titanium with Rhodium accents,
2. Rhodium with Gold Titanium accents,
3. Rhodium with Black Titanium accents.

The fountain pen features a Iridium Point Germany nib or a Schmidt 888F rollerball refill.
This pen kit is made in Taiwan to high specification especially for Timberbits.
Sterling silver is now rarely used in pen making. Sterling silver is an extremely cheap metal plating compared to Rhodium. Sterling silver is less that a $30 an ounce compared to over $2,500 an ounce for Rhodium.
Sterling silver is getting used less and less as a pen plating because sterling silver will tarnish over time. Rhodium will not tarnish over time.
This pen kits is made from solid brass pieces. The only plastic bit used in this kits is for the female thread hidden within the gold centerband. It is necessary to use the nylon thread because it helps the lid secure the pen in place. A metal on metal thread will result in the plating wearing away very quickly.

Thanks for looking and I hope you take advantage of this great deal.
This price is almost 40% cheaper than some US seller, not to mention higher grade plating, higher grade refill and NO EVIL BLACK BAND.
Also if you have purchased this kit from me in the past, I have some spare gold centerbands to replace either the earlier gold bands or back ones. Just let me know how many you want and it is yours FREE - limited to how many you have purchased from me in the past.
Thanks for looking.
