First Civil War pen

[qquake]

This is my first Civil War pen. It's obviously a short fat pen. The cap replicates a Civil War era Minie Ball bullet, and the clip is an 1861 Springfield musket. The wood is supposedly genuine lignum vitae, finished with Watco Danish oil. I didn't like the pen at first, but it's growing on me.

Looks very nice to me.

Beautiful, rich looking wood and finish.

Very well done. The wood looks good with that finish.

Nice contrast between the Lignum Vitae and the finish on the pen parts. Nice fit and finish..

Very nice pen.

I like the finish. How does it hold up over time?
