I am proud to say that I received the chrome pen in the attached photo from Ed in a PITH back in 2014. These were prototypes that Ed used to test the materials & techniques for the design of his submission to the Pen Maker's Guild. Here's a link to his page at PMG - his membership submission is absolutely stunning.

That's a bit of history that I was unaware of - thanks for sharing, I will make a note of it.

Just to make a point, I will get out my zoom lens tomorrow and take a few more pictures. The detailed engraving within each red cell is awesome, but very hard to see even when you hold the pen (for us old folks with vision problems). As a photo to be posted online, well... maybe I can capture the detail - it is incredible! In the photos below, you can just see a hint of the detail. Folks, this is a very special pen!
