I have only found one other retro on here ( Skiprat I believe) so it may not be available in the states. However it is a nice pen for a ladies handbag. I had to beat the wife of with a stick as she wants both these pens [:D][:D][:D][:D]

It doesnt use a lot of wood. I could have made it using two end cuts from previous blanks.

It also uses the Parker style refill.

I think I will be investing in more of these next week

The Retro kit is available from Berea as the
Retro Pen (Provincial/Executive) I don't think I have seen this at any of the resellers, but some may carry it.

CSUSA also sells an almost identical kit as the Americana Classic Pen Kit. Their kit uses a single blank and tube, but looking at the instructions carefully they look to be very similar except for the one tube vs. two tubes with the solid coupling in the middle. I just built the CSUSA version and I agree that it is a nice pen.
