    I agree with most of the picks. I will go with the second one and I am sure the Skipper will love it. Unless I have forgotten more than I have learn't in the old days that is for a Captain ?

    Cheers Ian

    Ian, the new owner loves it. Regarding ranks and positions, not all Commanding Officers (Captains) wear the rank of Captain and not all Captains are Commanding Officers . I'm happy to be corrected but I believe the term 'Skipper' refers to a Commanding Officer as opposed to a Captain ... the new owner is being promoted to the rank of Captain at the end of the year. This is his promotion present which he is buying to give to his wife so his kids can give it to him when he's promoted. He's got great kids with fantastic taste
    It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

    Yes, it's like buying yourself a festool and getting your wife to give it to you for Christmas. Perfectly understandable

    Btw Corbs, I really like the CO pen. It has a very nice balance. I can see why your pens are popular at your workplace
