Version I, it was a good pen.....

[PenWorks]

I am finally coming to the end of my Jr. Statesmen Vs I stock. Other than the threading problems that sometimes plague this pen, it was a nice pen. It was a good size for someone not wanting a bigger bulkier pen. Cap and barrel was simular in width. Also, once they got the threads right, this pen would stay closed, unlike the newer version, where some guys are using O rings to keep them securely closed. I picked up some more Sheaffer rod stock, so I made some extra long pens. When they are capped, not real visually pleasing and not really a pocket pen, but uncapped, it is a well balanced writing pen. Thanks for looking

A bit long bodied, but I see your point.. However, what is that material on the bottom???!!! I love it! Any chance to get a blank of that for myself??

I`m not too keen on the long body either, beautiful work though![]

Nice work as always Anthony. Were the one who got all that moss acrylic that was for sale? I may have to come visit you again.[}][]

I think it's stunning - especially with the cap off...

ANd that bottom one is really a beautiful material.

Not me Gerry [] I got some, but needed more. I got the last 9 rods. []
That stuff is hard to come buy, I was surprised he had a stock of it.

Thanks for the comments.
