This is a Slimline model ballpoint featuring the always rugged and durable chrome plating.  Chrome is tough to scratch and justs lasts and looks shiny forever.  The body has been hand turned, from a red acrylic called Crushed Pearl.  Crushed Pearl is a subtle but striking acrylic that was popular during the early days of pen making.  This pen measures approximately 7/16 in wide by 5 inches long and uses a twist mechanism with a Cross standard refill.  Comes in a black gift box that has a felt bed, silk like strap and features a clear plastic viewing window that lets you show off your pen even when the box is closed.  This pen ships for free by USPS First Class mail.
