I specialise in the sale of good quality pens with regular offerings across the writing instrument collecting market on a weekly basis. I also offer a restoration service for your existing pens if you need this service carrying out. Please message for details.
Please see all images , they are taken in high resolution and will give a very good idea about the pen in question and hopefully show any imperfections where applicable. The table also gives a very general guide of the basics of the pen with regards to model, colour , nib, condition. The measurement of the pen is shown in the images with a rule. Below the table I also include a grading summary of the condition. This is my scale and I have rated the pen according to my opinion , this of course will always differ but hope this gives a general guide. If you need to know the exact measurement please contact me and ask me as many questions as you need if I have missed anything you feel important.
All my auctions are offered at a 99 penny start with no reserve and all auctions will have shipping combined for multiple purchases.
