The pen is an Elegant Sierra Button Click in chrome and satin chrome, from Berea. The blank is obviously a red Snowflake, also from Berea. Had some problems along the way, but finally achieved success. Made a nice looking pen.

What were the problems you ask? Well, let's see. The first blank exploded, not sure why. I didn't turn the second blank enough, and the snowflakes on one side were partially hidden. Lastly, I assembled it wrong. I pressed the nib bushing into the body, then proceeded to press the finial/click assembly into the same end through the nib bushing. I couldn't see any way to disassemble it without destroying the finial, so I stole a nib bushing from another kit. Sheesh!

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the brass tube creeping. That's what caused the snowflakes to be closer to one end.
