Classic Pens CP8 / CP9 Prototypes 2007-2010

The prototyping of the Classic Pens CP8 focused specifically on choosing two engraving patterns for the production pens. The overall pen design had already been finalized, based on the 2007 Classic Pens LM1 and named the Legend 766 full-size fountain pen. This gallery shows images of prototypes photographed before and after the CP8 release. Some patterns were considered for the CP8, while others were intended for the proposed (but never produced) CP9. Which would you choose?
