    **** RAW BRASS PEN HARDWARE ****
    **** RAW COPPER PEN BODY ****
    This is a handmade Capped rollerball pen made by Placid Crafts. This series is called "Raw" and features Raw Brass Hardware. Raw with no Lacquer, or coating at all and will patina with age to take on the antique look that is so popular right now.  Yes, this pen body is machined from a Solid Copper Rod. The rod is cut to length, drilled out and a brass tube glued in. From there it is turned in a metal lathe to shape and size then sanded and shined. The pen is 5-1/2" long capped, and 6-7/8" long when the cap is posted and ready to write. I would consider this a standard diameter pen because the pen body is about 1/2" and this pen weighs 3.4 oz... This is a HEAVY pen. The raw brass on the hardware, and the raw copper pen body are very unique. It has no lacquer, sealer, or acrylic covering. This pen will Patina as raw unprotected brass will. New as it is, it is shiny. This pen is made of soft metals and will scuff up, scratch, and age as raw metals will. It will take on an antique look as it ages and that is the theme of this series.  /  187
    RAW BRASS & COPPER / NOT POLISHED / NO FINISH / NO LACQUER
    NO PROTECTION / PATINA WILL PROGRESS
    THE UNPROTECTED FINISH PATINAS AS IT AGES.
    Patina is a Progressive Process, Not a Finish... THE FINISH IS RAW BRASS
    ........it will not stay shiny as it comes unless you clean it from time to time. if you get more patina than you like simply clean the pen with some Never Dull and start over. This is not sold as a patina pen. The finish is raw brass & copper and Patina is a process that WILL happen to this pen. We have buyers that are disappointed if the pen comes like new (less patina) because they like the patina, other buyers are disappointed if the pen comes with more patina than pictured. Yet others say they like the way it came but just keeps getting darker..... Yes, it is a process. Personally I love the patina.
