Todd, As I am from accross the Pond, I will leave the pricing question to your Local Marketeers.
At first glance of the Blank, the Blue / White jumped out at me, just like a Beautiful Piece of Antique Delft Ware. I had to look twice, and it was only the Burl near the Nib end, that reminded me that this was a "Reincarnated Wood" Blank
The Blank is truly Incredible. Those colours are so "Delft" Brilliant.
Your Fit and Finish is excellent, I think because of the "Antique Appearance of the Delft" that the Gold Pen is an Excellent Choice.
Congratulations,
You have made my Day.
Brian.
