21st Century Quill

[BradG]

Needless to say its a long line design

A pen crafted from brass which has then been plated in chrome.

a very long design, modelled on a quill. A truely luxurious pen which suits any executive desk or for those who truely appreciate the use of a fine pen.

A twist mechanism to retract the pen nib


Mounted on a titanium jig

Emerging from the tank

Two questions Brad...

Why isn't this in the Russ Fairfield Contest?

What's with the kit nib? That would have looked spectacular if you had incorporated the nib into the front half.

Looks good though!!:wink:

My desk would be the perfect location for this spectacular writing instrument :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

 

[BradG]

Steve this is one i decided not to enter as i favoured another one :wink:

I dont mind the kit nib if im honest. may as well use them if they are there

 

[JohnGreco]

Outstanding! And you really show the faith in your plating by propping it on rocks like that, I would've been too afraid it would scratch.

[BradG]

Thanks Jim. Think i may go make a gold one as the yellow of the brass is quite eye catching

There was a chance of it being entered into a competition. if I had made the nib too i figured it would have been disqualified, so decided against it.

Its 225mm in length

Brad, nice pen! Have you ever tried etching on sterling silver barrel?

 

[BRobbins629]

Looks fantastic Brad. Love your out of the norm designs.

No i don't work with silver

Looks fantastic Brad. Love your out of the norm designs.

Thanks, though i think credit has to go to where its due with regards to the design, a Russ fairfield long line as you know :wink:

[bluwolf]

I like it! It looks like it would be nice to write with.

[BradG]

indeed it is Mike, surprisingly well balanced too, as you can see in the pics of the gold version where its perched on the pen stand

 

[gwilki]

Not being a big fan of yellow metals, I prefer this one to your gold version, Brad. The lines on both are perfect.

 

[BradG]

Yes I must admit that I myself lean more towards chrome. Though surprisingly im finding that gold does look fantastic under some conditions such as the egyptian pen I etched
