All the Pens
I like them all for different reasons but sense a brown theme running through them, interesting pen kits set the pens themselves off to a treat.
Great going keep on with the good work they show well.
Regards Peter.

No I got the engraving done by P-Square. I tried local engravers first they wanted between $20-$5 EACH for a order of 50 P-Square charge $1.65 each minimum order is only 10.

I always try to buy local and support the little blokes but when there is that big a difference ($167.50 @ $5ech) what are you meant to do

Thankyou for all your kind comments.
I made this lot a samples I could take to people so they could look/hold/write with but not to sell and so far I have been asked to make 6 so I think it has been worth while.
I find most people like to have test run before they commit to buying the pen so having one the can do some writing with seems to help tip them over.
