Thank you friends ! I placed it over the heat rising from my little propane heater in the shop , and turned it occasionally for about 10-15 minutes .

BTW , I'm sorry but the plating is actually Copper ! :redface:

Chuck, I think it was a great gesture on your part, it's rather sad that so many others have not done something nice for the man, considering what he's done for them! It is a beautiful pen.
