~~Infantry Statesman~~

[seamus7227]

This was my "2014 Casting Contest" entry pen. It features a full size statesman in Rhodium/Titanium with an upgraded Bock© nib. The blanks were custom made/designed by myself and with the help of commissioner John Pratt. He provided me with the crossed rifles and the coin and we determined that the best suited pen components would be the Emperor.

The coin has around 3-4 hours of time involved in thinning and cutting and as always, a joy to cut! Silver is easy to cut!!:biggrin: We chose the blue background since it represents the Army Dress Blue uniform and the Digital Camo print as an accent to overall design.

Hope you all enjoy!! Any and All constructive, non-constructive comments welcome!!!!

If you're going to turn only one pen a year, you have to make it a doozy and you did just that.

Absolutely Outstanding Pen, Seamus.
You always turn in something Special, and you have done it again.
Glorious rework on the Silver Coins, and Fantastic Crossed Rifles.
Right choice of Colour and the Subtle Camouflage is a Great Touch.
Incredible Craftsmanship.
Thanks for Sharing.
Brian.
