Some vintage spiral wrapped celluloid paired with black ebonite trim.
The tricky part with this pen was to get the clip ring low in the cap. Where it sits is just above the widest part of the nib wings when the pen is capped. So the nib actually sits through the clip ring height when closed. Still managed to keep the clip both hidden and with the full meat of the clip ring.
I did try a version of this clip with the ring thickness shaved down but ended up weakening the clip too much and it snapped.
I'm pleased with the end result. It's nicely positioned in the middle vertically.
Pardon the dirty threads. I took pictures before I cleaned them up.
