This is my first attempt at a Sierra style ironclad blank I bought from a member off this forum. this pen was made 2 months ago and it's been floating around in my pocket since then. It is I think of Gatsby from Penn State industries in gun metal plating.

please feel free to give me any feedback and constructive criticism. Also I only see one or two other items like this on etsy.com selling for 75 and 100 dollars. What type of price does this type of pen deserve?

That looks pretty good. Cant' say the same about the hardware its on but :)

I'm still getting my feet wet with different styles of pen kits, I mostly have been making sewing tools not pens.

Share with me your thoughts behind your comment about the hardware it is on. Thanks

Very nice looking pen and I think the hardware combination fits it very well. $75 to $100 is a good price in my eyes, but it depends more on your market and marketing than just the pen itself.
