Well deserved on this pen. Very well polished both inside and out. Nicely detailed too. But what stands out to me is the photo. Top notch and very clear. I wish I can take photos like that. Well done.

Thanks John. Do I dare reveal the photo was taken with my phone...a Samsung S9+ and post processes with an app called snapseed? Thanks again. I appreciate your positive comments.
Do a good turn daily!

I am still looking for a new phone, maybe I should look at that one.

Don, First attempt or fiftieth....Simple fact.. That is a beautiful pen. Clean, crisp lines and wow.. check out those threads. The photograph is crisp and clear. You were saying something about doing a better job polishing better inside. Why? It looks like you used a uniform surface pattern to camouflage the converter.
Best,
Doc

The S9+ is not the newest but the camera is quite good.
