Hello Members! Attached are photos of another amazing writing instrument from 3952 Fountain Pens. This one is covered in genuine, abalone sea shell. The thick inner layer of the shell is composed of nacre, which is the source of colorful mother-of-pearl, used in jewelry and writing instruments. The Bock nib is smooth...just as we would expect. Another feature/benefit is the threaded barrel end which gives us the option to post the cap, if desired. There will be images of other 3952 fountain pens to share with you in the near future. I have known the owner of 3952 fountain pens a number of years, and his Company delivers top-quality products with meaningful value. I have no financial connection with the Company. IMG_4247.pdf
