Several issues affect this otherwise fabulous pen: (see final three photographs)
- The cap is tight when screwing to the nib section. There is no visible damage to either threaded section. A complete mystery!
- The wood on a small part of the cap appears quite rough in a small area. Only slightly visible with the naked eye - the photograph makes it appear much worse. All other wooden parts are smooth.
- A small part of the detailing on the pen finial was loose and has been removed. This is a manufacturing defect and only affects the area shown in the photograph. All other detailing is perfect.
- A very slight disculouration/stain on the cap thought to be ink transferred whilst handling the pen.
This most elegant pen, with intricate circle designs adorning the top & base of the cap, and the finial end of the pen barrel, is sure to be a hit for those who are looking for a quiet yet discerningly stylish look.

- German made iridium size 6 medium nib (fountain)

Materials used to craft this pen:
Oak
The pen barrel of this Whisky Rococo is made from oak which was once a stave of a barrel used by The English Whisky Company. The smell of whisky remains quite pungent, and one sniff will have you reaching for the bottle!
Common Name(s): English Oak, European Oak
Scientific Name: Quercus robur
Distribution: Most of Europe, to Asia Minor, and North Africa
Tree Size: 80-115 ft (24-35 m) tall, 3-5 ft (1-1.5 m) trunk diameter
Color/Appearance: Heartwood is a light to medium brown, commonly with an olive cast, though there can be a fair amount of variation in color. Nearly white to light brown sapwood is not always sharply demarcated from the heartwood. Quartersawn sections display prominent ray fleck patterns.
Comments: English Oak falls into the white oak group, and shares many of the same traits as White Oak (Quercus alba).
One of the most famous English Oak trees, The Major Oak, is a massive tree located in Sherwood Forest, in Nottinghamshire, England. The tree is estimated to be approximately 1,000 years old, and is purported to have been a common hideout for Robin Hood and his outlaws.
