    Default Imperial update

    I've finally finished the Matching rollerball to the fountain pen I did a few weeks ago out of golden amboyna.

    This piece doesnt have as much figure as the fountain pen, but still turned out looking pretty spiffy IMHO.






    Here's the pair together for comparison:







    righto, time for me to go do some real work ....

    They look awesome.

    Is that one of the titanium finishes on the kits? What is the kit? Details details!

    Very nice matching set. I particularly like the timber. Is that a CA finish?

    Another excellent match, very well done Dave, I believe it is Titanium/Rhodium and the kit is Imperial from CSUSA!? Amos

    Ta guys...

    Cisco, the finish is rustin's on both pens. The Amboyna was courtesy of penpal.

    Amos got the kit in one. Bit scared to go to CSUSA's site at the moment - after this pair I've got a wish list that'll melt the credit card.

    Ahh yes, have them in my favorites and am getting ready to start the obsession, err I mean hobby, again. This time around everything will be at least titanium gold, no more wearing off platings for me!
