This was my fountain pen day pen that I made for myself. Instead of buying a pen on Nov 1 I made myself one. I wanted something fun and unique and I love how this turned out. It has a nib section made of celluloid acetate in a golden brown and blue, added a translucent blue ink window, a dark blue section with a clear yellow section and acetate bottom to match the nib section and a clear yellow cap. Love how it turned out. It is fitted with a bock #6 red lacquered nib. This was crazy fun to make and I am enjoying using it.

This is gorgeous! How do you polish the inside of your translucent yellow cap to get it looking so clear? Nice job in every way.

Not sure what Jon's techniques are for polishing the inside, but here's a video I found a few months ago that has a lot of insider approaches/ideas on how it's done by professionals

Really cool, spectacular pen. I'll mark Nov 1st on my 2020 calendar as "Fountain Pen Day.

@Jontello That is a fabulous pen for Fountain Pen Day. Also an excellent mix of colour.
Fountain Pen Day is not necessarily Nov 1st. It is actually the first Friday in November.

thanks you. I have a custom mandrel where I put the sandpaper similar to what Brian from the Edison pen company does. I have a love hate relationship with demonstrator pens.
My procedure is very similar.
Fountain pen day is the first Friday in November of every year. Always a great day indeed.

Thanks for the correction. I enjoyed a visit to Italy when my son was attached to Nato in Naples.
