closed Custom Handmade gun metal pen

[jonrms]

As with my previous pens, this one is no different in the terms. 

First about the pen. I have just finished making this pen. I had experimented a couple of years ago with saturated wood. But NEVER any success until now!! This one has had the opportunity to sit and take in the die. 

I believe it to be oak wood, I apologise as it's been a long time and the die has affected it's natural grain pattern. It's brought out a Tiger stripe like pattern. This pen is of a good size for both men and woman. And would make a very nice gift. 

If you would like it please let me know if it's for YOU or a Gift. 

I have a nice box this can sit in. 

My requirements are you pay for postage.  

You after recieving it decide if you like it or not. 

If you do, I only ask of a trade of 1 to 3 oz of silver for this pen. It must be stamped, all .999 silver please. I am using this to smelt down to make my bullion bars which I will be selling later. If you do want the box please consider this. Postage is about £4. I have 2 references so far and feel free to ask. 

@BackyardBullion and @kimchi

Please DO NOT SEND collectable bullion. I can NEVER part with it and it ends up in my safe. I prefer scratched, milk spotted and dented bullion. 

I have another pen or 2 coming very soon. The next one should be ready by tomorrow and the other if all goes well by the weekend or Monday  that last on a will be a fountain pen.  

 

Any specific requirements please pm me. I will work with you the best I can. But due to my back I am not able to always do this. So I prefer a no time line approach. 

Thank you and if you want it please reply to this thread.

Beautiful but being a Man Utd life long fan I can’t buy a blue pen 😉

[jonrms]

@jonrmsjonrms what color are the metal parts on the pen, can't see it clearly on the pics. Thanks

It's a Gun Metal.   It's not shiny, it's not dull. Very hard to explain. I will take some more photos with white behind it to help.

I've started composing a few replies to this topic and had to delete them. The first one I said I was gutted at this because I grabbed the last pen (incredible work @jonrms) which was a custom present for my sister's birthday at the weekend. She's a 'perfume and designer clothes' gal generally but she absolutely loved the pen, it meant an awful lot. These are not 'just' beautifully hand-crafted pens by a very skilled gentleman, they are real keepsakes.

I was gutted in that this one grabbed my eye immediately, but I had the last one (otherwise this would be gone as soon as the listing came up!), and I know Jon wants to spread the happiness with these, and you've got to respect that

This one resonates with me because of the wood and the colour, and it is absolutely stunning once again, the grain on that is incredible So I scrapped the first message and the second said, basically 'sorry guys I'm a greedy sod so I'm having it!' but that certainly wasn't right, so luckily I didn't post it!

3 ounces (or whatever you think it's worth) for this is an absolute steal imvho, I can't believe it hasn't gone already!

I will also say having chatted to and received the first pen from Jon he is a top man, a real gent, and an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish, I will bet an ounce of silver whoever grabs this will not be disappointed in any way whatsoever (in fact absolutely the opposite)!
