Very handsome pens, Anthony!

 

[JimGo]

I like both Anthony; very pretty! I'm more fond of the squared-end pen, though I'm not sure why. I think it's the really clean, simple lines.

You stil have the touch Anthony. I like them a lot.

Really nice pens Anthony, fantastic job. What is the white material on the end of the Classic pen?

I generally don't call people stupid that are bigger than me [] But I guess they don't teach those things in Texas.
The straight one is American style and I'll let you guess which one is the Japaneese style. []

In that case I am fond of the American style.

Thanks Anthony. I like them both and a great job, as usual.
Do a good turn dailyu!

Hi Anthony,

I totally love this design, it's something I would like to try myself some time.

I really like the Japanese design you show, I like the form and the feel it would have, the cap looks great!!

These look like Jr Gents, are they?

Great work Anthony! Of course we expect that from you. I might be able to get away with peddling my one step above bic stuff, but we all expect nothing but top notch from you.

Jim, they were made off the Panche kit
and robbed a front nib section from the Jr Gent.

Thanks Anthony!

I assume you are also using the same pin chuck from Fanger as well..

WOW!

 

[Joe Melton]

Very dignified pens, Anthony.
I'm curious about the origin of the phrases "American style" and "Japanese style." Can you point us to that? Also, are there other defined styles?

Joe, if you look in some fountain pen books, you will see the early styles of American pens such as Parker's being pretty straight forward on there cut lines.

Holy smokes, you mean I can actually make money on a book ! []
Okay, another good book, Fountain Pens , US & UK by Andreas Lambrou.
Should be allot less

 

[gerryr]

Do I get a finders fee?[] And I messed up on the price, starting at $140.

I won't believe they are true Japenese styles until I see some urushi on them....Surely that tree grows in the vast regions of AZ.[]
Do a good turn daily!
