this is a baron chrome fountain pen kit. made from a lilac branch given to me in a box full of scrap wood from a fellow turner when he was cleaning out his garage. first time with this kit. and first time freeing a blank from a branch, have to say. all went well.

Hi Marc; Considering that's a Baron, there is a black finial that can and should be replaced to make your pen a top contender!
