Great review and a fabulous pen ! One very small criticism though, David. As a devoted fan and champion of Tesla for many years I would correct your use of the word "advocate" of Alternating current. He was the sole INVENTOR.
I very, very, very nearly purchased a David Oscarson Harlequin when I saw it at Atlas Stationers. You have to see the pens in person. They are STUNNING.
Thanks David! The enamel and guilloche work expressing the intricate, amazing art design is incredible! If that weren't so much money to me, I'd snap one up, even before some of the amazing urushi or maki-e that other pen companies offer. Wow!
A couple of nitpicks. The tesla is actually a unit measure for magnetic field intensity (or, equivalently, a unit measure for magnetic flux density). The wave below the cap band could represents the current intensity over time in an AC circuit or the electromagnetic force (aka the voltage. It could also represent the magnetic field intensity over time generated by an AC current, there's no way to know. I'm not familiar with Tesla's theory of gravity, but I would say that diagram on the end of the barrel reminds me of the magnetic field generated by a magnetic dipole. Anyway, loved this review. A very interesting looking pen.
A good colour match for this pen ink wise would be Endless Alchemy Mystic Forest the green is almost identical to the pen and the shading would pic up the darker areas of the pen, on the right paper like regalia the ink Sheen's a brownish red that would match the dark areas on the pen barrel so nicely. Thanks for another awesome review from a avid fan down here in South Africa.
This pen is amazing. The craftsmanship and design are unquestionably some of the best on the planet. Looking forward someday to acquiring one of his pens.
Hi David! I always look forward to your videos and really appreciate your pen reviews! You definitely have to review more because you have a ton of great information to share and it’s extremely valuable. Thank you for all you do!! 😊 I am hoping to pick up a nice pen to begin my collection. Do you have any recommendations for a good first one to get since I am starting off on collecting?
as i have a smaller hand, this one is a beauty to look at, but wow, i can't even imagine writing with it on a regular basis! fantastic work on this pen.
LOVE, LOVE everything about this pen as I’m also a big fan of all things Tesla and the power of 3,6 and 9. Love this green too, quite the beautiful investment❣️ ⚡️📜🖋️⚡️
What a great insightful review.. But the unit T (Tesla) refers to the magnetic flux density.. Not just flux.. This bugged me a bit. As being an Electrical Engineer, I respect the contributions of Nikola Tesla and a unit on his honor must be bug free..
Oh my gosh! You're wearing a Mauna Kea Beach Hotel shirt!!!!!! My dad (airline pilot before deregulation) would take us all out there for spring vacation, and the hotel will always - ALWAYS - have a cherished place in my heart! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

You said it best, functional art. Thank you for sharing this stunning pen.
Stunning, just stunning. Incredible effort designing such an art piece honoring such a great man. Admirable!
The hand x-ray on the cap blew me away!
Thanks David!

The formula is for Magnetic Flux Density (T) = Weber(s) per metre squared
Going with the definition using the webers is quite disappointing...

Tesla Coil ink by Birmingham Pen Co.
Shows me for spending most of the video smugly saying, "Well, OBVIOUSLY he's going to use Birmingham's Tesla Coil."
same here!

It's a beautiful place!
It is indeed! @@FigbootonPens
Ah yes this guy
At that price, I might just look up from my Montblancs!
Should have an ink color called - Shocking Blue
That's exactly the name of the color I used.
@@FigbootonPens I was going to guess Caran d'Ache Magnetic Blue
Tesla Coil ink from Birmingham.
Shocking $ indeed!
