Sooooo Blue
I got some new material in the other day and because it was only 5/8 and not 3/4 I thought I would make up a click pen for myself.
The clip was out of a bunch of Parker parts I got a while ago so I made the pen around that clip. The nib end was from my parts bin and had a 7mm x.75 thread on it the same as the clicker.
I was not to sure of the gold and silver together but a friend reminded me that cross has been doing that for years now.

The clicker unit was one I got from Richard Greenwell and is so quiet and smooth. If you ever need a click unit this is the one to use. it is 7mm X.75 thread.

Looking good! It's always a great idea to have a 'personal pen' that is eye-catching. Helps get the conversation started at those 'odd places'!!

Great looking execution on the pen. I agree about not really feeling the Gold and Silver. If the clip has some silver or the tip had some gold maybe it would bring it together.
