Blue and black with brass accents
This one was a lot more work than my previous custom pens as I decided I wanted to add some brass accents.
I also wanted a matching section, rather than the standard black one. This uses a nib/feed I hadn't used before which had an feed thread of 8.4x1, which had to go inside a section using an external thread of 10x1mm, so not a lot of "meat" left.
As a result the section you see here is my fourth attempt!
The blank is one of my own dark navy blue ones, as is the black used for the caps etc.
Anyway see what you think, as always comments most welcome.
