    Default 925 silver and Azurite

    This is the first of two pens, one each to celebrate the birth of our first grandchildren twin boys George and William

    The pens are made from solid 925 silver and this one is dressed in Azurite Trustone.

    They are fountain pens with bock nibs. the boxes were engraved by Amos, thank you Amos for a wonderful engraved boxes.

    I have yet to turn the second pen all being well tomorrow.

    Polished to 12k MM then buffed

    What a brilliant idea Sam. The pen looks absolutely fantastic and the box is beautiful. You have done an excellent job and Amos' laser work is great. Great work

    Wow Sam, Just fantastic mate. Beautiful pen and the box's and engraving (amazing Amos's workmanship) are outstanding. Very special to make heirloom gifts for family. I'm currently doing Silky Oak picture frames with my special 'Hounds Tooth' inlay banding for the grand kids photo's. They will be able to show 'their' grand kids what they looked like way back in 2012
    I never forget anything I remember !!

    If the second one is anything like the first one Sam, then all I can say is WOW!

    First class all the way

    Are these pens going to be kept for a special occasion or will these be the first babies in Oz to be taught to write with a fountain pen?

    Oh. almost forgot, superb engraving as per usual Amos!
