I'm curious about that dot shading, looks like print. Is it some kind of halftone stamp?

Thanks, I was wondering if it was by hand, and then... "nah, that's not possible".

Off topic, but that pen looks really cool. Is it a fountain pen?

That's a dip pen -- you may notice it is missing a feed. They are pretty cheap to get into!
