Wow. That is really nice. Do you make the rings on a metal lathe or buy them somewhere? I want to add rings to the kitless ones I am working on but not sure how to go about it.
I really like that material. Looks professional and classy. Really good job with it.

Outstanding pen Doc! Are the parts brass or plated? I wouldn't know the difference from the photos. :redface: Really very nice work.

Thank you all for your kind comments.
Ron, Thank you. I usually make my own bands from sheet of sterling silver and solder them. The center band on this pen is a sterling silver band I bought some time ago from an E Bay seller that is a pipe maker. Will find name and PM you. I plated the band with FastGold from Caswell and my own rectifier
which lays down a pretty heavy durable coat. Finished with Caswell metal lacquer. The other gold accents are from Richard Greenwald.
Regards, Doc.

Mal, Thank you. It's Cumberland ebonite...
Chuck, thank you... It's gold plated as I described to Ron above.

I've admired your work from day one, Doc. I haven't been around much for a while, but it was nice to come on and see this! Reminds me of what I was inspired to aim for prior to moving and having life take a side rail. Your craftsmanship is awesome.
