This is a PSI Big Ben (cigar) pen in gunmetal and gold. The wood is lignum vitae from Woodcraft. It is some of the most highly figured lignum vitae I've ever turned. The finish is Pens Plus.

It didn't look like much before I turned it.

It said "Use Version 2 Upgraded Parts" on the kit package. It included two twist mechanisms. I'm assuming the silver one is the "upgraded part".

The Big Ben with the gunmetal and gold finish is one of my favorite plating options for this pen. Nice blank and finish, a very nice looking pen...
