A Retro for Uncle

[DKF]

My Uncle and Father grew up in Hanover, Germany, and apparantly used Pelikan FP's....Uncle just informed me he still has a few he purchased before the co. was sold...(some of you may know more about this than I do)...anyway, I made him a Jr. Retro in Af. Blackwood, Lacquer finish...Comments and critiques welcome.

That is very nice craftsmanship-- the shape and form is right-on, and the finish looks great too. Excellent job. I like the Jr Retro, it is a nice kit with just enough flair but not overdone extravegance.

It looks great. Nice fit and the finish looks great. Those dark wood will tst your finishing skills and seems like you've done great. Personaly I'm still not sold on the kit, but that is a matter of taste. Your pen looks great
