    Default 'Land and Sea' Shirt Pocket Fountain Pen with Cap Band and Inlays

    Hello folks,

    Just recently made a special pen for my wife's birthday, thought I would share.



    This one is one of the Lava alumilites, but forget which name. I'm going with 'Land and Sea' :-)





    This is one of my 'Shirt Pocket Fountain Pens' - the ones that are a decent size for daily carry, and post well for convenience. This one features a brass cap band, as well as inlays on each end of another similar alumilite. It is fitted with an 18K JoWo fine nib.



    Happy wife.

    Cheers,

    Ken

    Thats a beauty Ken.
    I think your wife will love it.
    "Land and Sea" fits this blank perfectly. Your pens are a true inspiration to dive deeper into penturning.
    The inlays are really nice - i should give that a try, too.

    best regards

    Gerrit

    Ken, nice pen!
