The description and marketing would lead you to believe this is a solid brass pen that will develop a nice patina

I love the raw brass

I really like the brass too because of the patina it is developing.

The raw brass is great

The Brass is great because it patinas so well after some use, writes every time

Way too light to be solid brass and also too small

I love brass and was glad to see they made one in brass.

awesome to write with, the brash slowly tarnishes (as raw brass normally does) and starts looking like an antique pen.

The Raw Brass is perfect for a pen and it acquires a dark patina just like a spent round does

brass turned and ink leaked had to throw away

Raw brass is awesome also, and can be polished if wanted.

I prefer the weathered used brass

A word of warning, this one is unfinished brass.

I like the look of tarnished brass, which is why I chose this finish.

Love the raw brass.

Three, it is made of SOLID raw brass that will develop a nice patina

The brass tarnishes very easily, but that's a given.

I always had black, but was intrigued by its solid brass construction

It does have a uniqueness in that it is unfinished brass and has antimicrobial properties

The brass is not plated/protected for corrosion but that is what I wanted.

Aside from making your hands smell like brass, solid product

The raw brass develops a great patina and I love holding it.

The brass got really tarnished or something super fast?

Nothing has changed on these since then and the brass looks nice

I also bought the black color, but the brass is my favorite.

Fits in my front pocket and the brass is pretty cool too.

this is my nth one of these: they are comfortable pocket carry pens, the brass looks good and ages into a nice patina, and I have too many drawers in the house with too many opportunities for someone to "put it away

The Raw Brass is beautiful

What I really like about this pen is the build; the solid brass shaped into a smooth tiny pen, that is simply mesmerizing to look at

The brass looks good and it perfect for EDC

This brass one is great.

I like the unfinished brass

The raw brass is an added bonus since I can let someone use it and not worry so much about their yucky germs

Great pen, love the raw brass as after a while it will start to tarnish and develop a nice "character"

So unlike many of the lesser intelligent buyers of this pen, I selected it specifically because it is unfinished raw brass

Used these for years and the brass ages very well!!!!!
