"Nailhead" Shaped Pens

[troglokev]

I like the look of the Graf von Faber Castell pens in this shape: there's probably one of those in my future...

 

For really offensive shapes, you generally require metal chasing and a large quantity of cash.

I don't have any 'Nailheads', but I like the shape if it's made of metal.

I think plastic/resin versions of the shape look wrong for some reason.

 

The shape is old fashioned. But a Doric column on a building is in a style dating back 2500 years or more, but still looks good. There is a classic simplicity to the shape that gives it a timeless beauty that is as nice today as it was in the 1920's.

I like 'em! Especially that Yard-o-Led Corinthian. ~~~

(I'm gonna have a sterling pen if I have to build it myself!)
