2 Birthday Presents
Two of my latest for birthdays I had to make, the first is a Sierra dressed out in Alternate Ivory and the second is a .303 British cartridge, FMJ for the nib and the top is Ebony with a Winchester rifle clip. See what you think.
Cheers
Darren

Both are very nice pens. I especially like the alternative ivory. A white or black pen has a certain amount of class about it.

Even though technically Black and White aren't classed as colours, they are known as shades to either lighten or to give depth to other true colours. I feel when either are used there is a purity in them and you can't be lazy if the finishing of them for they will show every defect you neglect. thank you Les for your comment, for the amount of cartridge pens you produce, it means a lot. Be interesting to compare what you sell yours for to what I get for mine. I use .303, .308, 300 mags and done 1 50 cal so far. I understand mine are no where the standard of yours, also understand if you want to keep your pricing to yourself as well Les, Just trying to gauge how much more work I will have to do to be as good as yours thats all.
Cheers everyone
Darren

Darren, you've got another 21 years to perfect it like Les has, judging by the age difference
