The Summer 2019 Pennant Is Finished And In The Mail!

[PenHero]

The Summer Pennant is finished and off to the printer! This is the cover shot, a Conklin Red Pearl Chevron Nozac prototype with, from top, a finished but not yet imprinted barrel, the finished pen, a barrel blank, and a cap blank. The pen shown is the only one known to exist. This issue is all about passion, beauty and discovery. And of course, pens!
