Thanks to all for your kind words. Mark- regarding the build...I chose aluminum bronze for its anti-corrosive properties. Didn't want it turning funny colors. Sanded to 1200, then polished with brasso, finished with wax. Designed it in Autocad. Ink delivery c/c. Didn't want metal-to-metal threads, hence the ebonite center. Did it as a 14mm threaded insert. Cap measures 15.6mm x 66mm. Body is 13.03mm at its widest and tapers at 1.5 degree to the end radius. Not a "carry" pen, heavy at 97gm. Although it will post due to the taper, it becomes extremely top heavy. Actually a comfortable writer not posted.

Best Regards

Great Pen, Brian,
Excellent Profile and Proportions.
Interesting Material Aluminum Bronze, not familiar with it at all.
Terrific Fit and Finish.
Shame about the weight, could you take more out of the Body?
Thank you for the details.
Congratulations,
Brian.
