A couple of days ago I received my parcel from Chriselle in Japan, and what surprises it contained!
Chris's personal hand written note explained that the Jr Gent II FP was made with (and I quote) "a piece bakelite that was given to me by a very well respected designer and penmaker (retired) for the Sailor pen company here in Japan" Chris goes on to say that it wasn't the pen he originally intended to send (the urushi pen discussed elsewhere) but he reckons "it's not too bad for backup!!) I'll say it isn't! I'm tickled pink to have such a great looking pen with that history attached to it, in my collection. Thank you very much Chris
Chris also included some very nice blanks in the package, some spalted and some stabilised. The one on the far right isn't marked, but I am guessing is Texas Ebony?
Looking forward to turning these in to some spectacular looking pens Chris, thank you very much. :you-rock-1:
I have really enjoyed this pen swap and would like to thank Sam for going to the trouble of organising it, thanks Sam :great1:
