Fresh from the shop...

[Fred Bruche]

... and testing new ideas for the 2023 BASH. Not working on a clip yet, but the transparent finials are screwed in, not glued (forgot to take a picture of that, so you'll have to believe me). The main blank was a SE prize I received from @Displaced Canadian a couple of years ago, the rest is my own sauce.
M13x0.8T and M10x1.0 tap and dies were used, JoWo #6 for the nib, closed length145mm.
C&C welcome.

Beautiful work, Mr. Bruche! Subtle, yet striking.

the transparent finials are a nice touch.

Great work.

Great pen Fred, indeed. Still waiting for the clip though, but not for a long time I guess...

Beautiful, competition is heating up already. Looks great.
