qquake Member Joined Feb 8, 2004 Messages 5,054 Location Northern California Jul 22, 2020 #1 Another Geta pen from Berea, this one in gold and gunmetal. The blank is an AA called Liquid Gold. It's subtle and dark, but made a classy looking pen. It was difficult to photograph because it's so dark, but you get the idea.

That might have darkened it a bit, but it's a fairly opaque blank. Attachments 018.jpg 289.2 KB · Views: 228 020.jpg 206.5 KB · Views: 211 021.jpg 100.5 KB · Views: 206 022.jpg 204.3 KB · Views: 231

It snapped right in on the first try. I didn't even cuss! Attachments 058.jpg 195.3 KB · Views: 241 059.jpg 115.6 KB · Views: 203 061.jpg 140 KB · Views: 262
