Someone suggested we post our entries for the Exotic Blanks Advanced Beautiful pen contest, here. And tell something about it. I will tell a little about this pen here, but I will remind everyone, that it is all in the library.

The cap and body are cebloplast Blue Ice (I believe is what it's called). The section is made from Pitch Black Lucite, and houses a Heritance #5 semi-flex nib. The finial is made from brass, which has been Rhodium plated, by W.F.Scott plating. The center band and, blind cap band are aluminum. It has a push bulb filler. Thanks for looking.

Chuck - That is really a beautiful pen with very classic good looks. I was sweating it out waiting for the results to be revealed. I'm going to have to be really stepping up my game next year.

I think this pen is perfect combination of material, design and craftsmanship, which in total makes this a work of art.

PS more then 3 photos are definitely showing much better some design decisions, thanks!!!

If you hang out with Brooks, I AM in trouble. I'm sure you both have big plans for the next round. Can't believe you guys didn't get me this time. Thanks for the comments.

That really is a beauty Chuck. Such classical lines and a perfect match of materials.
Glad to have your approval!:biggrin:
