Classic Pens Lr7 Moonlight Artist's Proof Prototype

[PenHero]

Hi, Folks!

Shooting early artist's proof prototype pens gives a real sense of the development of the final art pen. This is a very early rendition of Paul Rossi's Classic Pens LR7 Moonlight, showing off his outstanding metalwork in the barrel of the pen.

The real story here is to notice the differences between the artist's proof prototype and the final pen. This pen has the standard Classic Pens cravat clip. The section, cap top and barrel end are all black resin instead of Space Blue. Had this been the final pen, it would be handsome indeed, but adding the handcrafted sterling silver clip and turned Space Blue resin cap, barrel and section elements very much complete the pen and add to the overall beauty of the scene.

The Classic Pens LR7 Moonlight depicts a very serene full moon lit evening with the moon framed by the trees. The moon and stars are hand inlaid in the cap and barrel. The pen was hand turned and the silverwork was hand made by Paul Rossi. The nib is oversize 18 karat made by Peter Bock. The edition was released in 2013.
