The Verney Carron matching croc-pattern biro is a good idea though.....

You can simply chuck it away when it runs out of ink!

I should add though that for a contemporary maker of double rifles, Verney Carron seem to be a little more in touch with classic style than many of the modern firms. While these 'extreme' designs that John keeps finding are certainly not to my taste, they wouldn't be building them unless it increased their market share.

Diversity is the spice of life!
