Junior Emperors in M3 Damascus Steel
This pair of Junior Emperors is in Damascus Steel, a slight overturn in the Rollerball is the "special feauture" so you can tell the Rollerball from the Fountain Pen!
The Jnr Emperors are in Rhodium finish. Wet sanded to 15000, used Nuvite11 Cut and Nuvite11 Polish to finish them. Amos

Very cool, Amos!
How heavy did the pens turn out compared to a normal wood barrel?Coffee, chocolate, women. Some things are better rich.

Awesome pens but don't think I will be able to justify the expense at the moment to work the M3 myself.
It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

I'll bet they have to pay for them with a 'platinum' card, huh?

The only trouble I see with making pens like those two is this. Exactly what can you do for an encore? Here in the States, those pens would sell for $500 each. And rightly so. My hat's off to you Amos. What's next?
When all is said and done, there is usually a whole lot more said than done.
