I wonder - since almost everyone seems to think that the nib and clip should match - why they decided to do such an odd thing as make the nib and clip a different plating?

Nice looking pen - looks great with that acrylic! I like the crystal stand too!

For those that don't like the silver-gold combination, go to a fine jewelry store and you will see a ton of the same combinations. Look at Rolex watch bands and you'll see lots of it. And don't forget the Statesman, Emperor, Lotus and Imperial kits. Except that the gold plating is crap on these, how is this really different?

The white balance is off quite a bit. Correct that and the photo will be 1000% better.

what we are talking about is the primary metal on the clip/finial and centerband is the opposite of the nib the way the kits come. It looks much more balanced when you swap the nib from Chrome kit to the Gold kit (and vice versa).

All the kits have the gold/chrome combo.
