Kitless pen with overlay

[jalbert]

I finished this pen up recently. It's a short fountain pen, which I made from vintage cellulose and transparent blue acrylic. I made the trim and overlay from silver, and the pen is threaded for Pelikan 200/400 nib units. It is filled via piston mechanism.

Love the color of that cellulose and the silver work is really nice!! Can't wait to see what you might have up your sleeve for the Bash!

This was up my sleeve, but a friend bought it and I can't ask her to not post pics on social media for a month, so

Thanks Mal. Was trying to figure out how to tie the clip and overlay together somehow.
