A 60th Birthday Mistral for a friend

[DJBPenmaker]

Made this pen today as a present for a friend's 60th birthday. Mistral fountain pen in rhodium with gold accent ring, rosewood, CA finish, brass powder inlay cap finial. As my friend has an interest in ancient Greece the laser engraved logo is ancient Greek for the number 60. Excuse the photos I didn't take too much care over them as it's not a pen I'm selling.

Very nice!
Did you laser the "R" and then fill?

Thanks, yes that's exactly what I did. Three passes with 120 burn time using the Neje 1500mw DK-BL. Worked a treat.

Very nice pen. My 60th birthday is Friday. Just saying.

That's a beautiful pen, I'm sure he'll be thrilled. While it's always nice to sell a pen, the ones I enjoy making the most are gifts.

The photos look great, as does the pen itself.

Beautiful pen. Your friend is going to be very happy!

The Mistral Penn went down really well "awesome" was the word used. It's going to be filled with red ink as being a teacher he finds he uses red ink more than any other colour!
