Does anybody have experience with the Lacquered Brass vs. the Raw Brass Space Pens? Planning to move to brass items and was curious which you prefer
Dan Landin ·
I love my raw brass pen. It has really taken on a nice patina. I'm guessing the lacquered one will stay shiny all of the time. That's that my chrome finished one is for though!
Sam Nehf ·
I very much enjoy the patina my raw brass space pen has taken over the last few months, really gives it a personal look.
I've had both, as raw wasn't available for whatever that was I ordered. The Raw brass takes life, and leaves a really cool pattern.

A friend of mine and I got our zippo's together. As time passed the two were very distinct from one another. That lacquered brass is still shiny (imho boring)
