This is a lovely slimline twist pen with a red, white, and blue swirling design in acrylic. It's made with black chrome accents. The pen uses a Cross® style refill that features a premium Swiss-made carbide writing tip for smooth consistent writing. To replace the refill, pull off top of pen above the center band and twist out the refill. A highly polished lacquer finish was used to protect the acrylic. These hand made pens and pencils make wonderful gifts and are absolute treasures to own!
