Manu Propria Pens - Value of Unique the Piece

[manupropria]

Recently there was an auction on Yahoo Japan, on a Sailor Susutake Fountain Pen with Nagahara Eagle, that was sold for CHF/USD 16'400.-. Built from Bamboo and silver and gold fittings, the end pieces with Abalone inlays. I felt challenged to try to rebuild this fountain pen unfortunately without the original nib. Remember, MP Pens are all completely hand made Unique Pieces

Best regards,

Martin

Are the bamboo blanks laminated together, or is there a bamboo species that is that thick? I brought some bamboo back with me years ago that is about 14mm thick or just over 1/2 inch.

Beautiful work and the metal work is astounding also!

Thank you. The bamboo is 18 mm diameter. I bought it in a garden centre. It is Chinese bamboo
