Tibaldi celluloid Nitrate (the classic celluloid of days of past). You can tell by the camphor smell while drilling and turning. There were no flames during the making of this pen :wink: Celluloid turned beautifully for me.
The color is generally called silver but with much more color like grey, pearl, black and veins of bright blue.
This material was used on the Impero.
Tibaldi is Italy's oldest pen manufacturer which was founded in 1916.
I believe they have since gone out of business.
The rhodium kit is from Jon David Jones at Signature Pen Supply called Oriental Dragon Fountain Pen.
I should note that I added a 18K gold nib which does not come with the kit.
Thanks for looking, Keith "mrburls"
