Hi all,
 
I promised to keep you informed when I received the pen order from Shanghai
Hero. Well, thanks to all of your help, it arrived on Thursday and I began
listing auctions for some of the models on Sunday. Below is the URL to a
photograph of the 'bad boy' itself - the one that caused all the problems!
It was very difficult to get a good digital photo due to the darkness of the
lacquer, but hopefully it will give you *some* idea. In person, it's
*gorgeous*!

I've also listed the link to all of my Hero auctions:

Again, many thanks for all of your help!
 
Regards,
