This is a European Designer model with a filigree top. The hardware is rhodium and the body is cut from an acrylic called Charcoal Ice Bowling Ball. This pen will certainly catch peoples eye. This pen was custom made for someone who didn't like the color when it was done, so we put it on line. Yes it's pretty flashy, but some of us like flashy. This pen has a twist mechanism and uses a standard Cross style refill. The pen measures approximately 7/16 in wide by 5 1/2 inches long. Comes in a gray velour lined case.
