Latest pen out of the shop: fountain pen made from vintage cellulose acetate and argentium. This took me a few weekends to get done, as the barrel overlay did not seem to want to cooperate at all, which resulted in melted parts and subsequent repairs while I was trying to do all the soldering. It's identical in material combination to my last one, but is a bit longer as it is converter fed rather than piston fed, and needed a bit more length to accommodate a converter. The overlay is just a simple linear theme with some arcing lines, and is flipped when you rotate the pen 180 degrees. I'm having a lot of fun with overlays (when they work out), and have gotten a whole lot more accomplished with soldering, even more so than when I was actually a metalsmithing student back in college!
