B&W marble acrylic closed Jr. Gent

[stevers]

Hi All,
I had this blank around for a while. Wasn't in a hurry to use it till I found the right project. Today I found the right project. The kit is a Rhodium Jr. Gent and the blank is called black and white marble acryluster. Cant even remember where I got it. May have been in Oregon or WW Emporium in Vegas.
I got the measurements for the nib barrel from a recent thread on closed end JG's. I went right at 2.645. The thread had 2.625 but I went a little more. Rather be a little over and be able to stretch the spring if ness.
I painted the tubes and the insides of the blanks with flat white Krylon spray paint. I could see through the blanks before I even drilled them.
I may still remove the clip and finial and make a matching acrylic finial insert. Have to see if I have any scraps to make it first. I used every bit of that blank and still barley had enough.
Anyway, here it is. Hope you like it.
Comments and critiques welcome.

You all are too kind, Thank You.
And now that you mention it, it would make a great wedding pen.
The holder came from my wifes dressing table. It's her ring caddy.
I tried shooting the pen on a white background and it just washed out so bad it almost disappeared. Normally I shoot pretty simple backgrounds, try to accentuate the pen. Thats why you see the clouds in the background.
Thanks again.
