Finished it this A.M. It's made with Black Ebonite along with Sterling Silver Accents. With a #6 Medium Point Polished Bock Nib. Had fun making it. Questions and comments welcomed. Thanks for looking. Doc
Nice and elegant Doc
Another in your Super Elegent series doc!! Silver really sets the whole thing off.
My kind of pen! I love it!
Doc, you have taken over.:biggrin: Is that converter a shorter version? Is it my eyes? The pen is a beauty.
Fantastic, reminds me of a Shaeffer No-Nonsense - apt name although I dont think the Shaeffer has any silver or ebonite!
Thanks for sharing Doc.
Elegant pen. The look and feel of black ebonite is addictive.

Nice work Doc. Good looking pen all around.
Lovely looking pen Doc!
Do you use tube for the bands, or sheet and solder it?
Classy! I like the barrel & cap being almost the same width.
I think we may be on the verge of a solid silver pen. you are having to much fun it seems.

Haven't commented on much of anything for a while, but this pen is just too nice! I still remember the first pen you posted not too terribly long ago… Wow, the progress you've made is just phenomenal! Kudos to you for such a wonderful looking pen!

Very nice Doc. Is the lower silver band on the body a ring or does it cover the whole end? It is hard to tell from the pictures.

Lovely looking pen Doc!

John, Thank You! I use bands.. I start out with 16 gauge silver sheet and cut a small strip. I run that through a rolling mill and get it down to about 20 gauge. I bend it around a mandrel and solder it much like I'm making a ring. I size the ring so it's just a little proud of the ebonite and fits it like a sleeve around a tenon. I use 5 minute epoxy and usually let it sit overnight prior to drilling out the cap. LOL...I probably use too much silver with the bands... my wife reminds of how much I spend on the silver sheet. That's probably more information than you wanted to know..
Regards, Doc
