The more important

I will do my best to describe the features of the pens accurately, but if you have any concerns, please let me know before offering to purchase: the pens (unless grossly misdescribed) are NOT returnable..
Please also note: the prices shown do NOT include postage costs, which will be extra, depending on your location and choice of service...
Unless otherwise indicated, all pens are available.. The price for any item not yet described is available on request! The more important pens may also be offered to relevant fountain pen groups on Facebook.

Aug23 01 Reluctant sale: a lovely gold-plated Waterman L'Etalon fountain pen!
This stunning, large pen, made in France in the 1990s, has the desirable gold-plated 'basketweave' pattern: it is in excellent cosmetic condition, with no obvious scratches, dents, loss of plating, or any signs of harsh usage. It is fitted with a new converter, as shown in the images, but can be used with Waterman cartridges; I haven't tested the pen beyond checking that the converter can draw in and expel fresh water, but that worked as it should. The lovely 18K solid gold nib is marked 'WATERMAN PARIS 18K - 750' on three lines... it looks like a MEDIUM nib.. and the feed has the imprint 'ST'. The pen has been used... there are light traces of ink on the feed, but the new converter is (obviously) clear.... I'm pretty sure that it could only have been handled lightly by its previous owner. The cap band is marked 'PARIS' on the opposite side to the clip: the ring just behind the section has the markings 'WATERMAN' on the front, and 'FRANCE' on the back. The pen comes in a hard deep blue Waterman box...also in good undamaged condition. A beautiful pen, usually much more expensive, particularly in this unmarked condition, and in the 'basketweave' finish... Price: £168.00 plus postage UK Special Delivery: £7.65 (fully insured) UK First Class Tracked 24/Signed for: £5.00 (insured to £50) International: £15.00 Payment: by PayPal, please to [email protected] 
*** SOLD *** Aug23 02 Reluctant sale: a beautiful glossy black Sheaffer PFM III... The black PFM III, made in the USA in the 1960s, is in excellent cosmetic condition, with no obvious scratches, dents, loss of plating, or any signs of harsh usage. It is a snorkel filler, as shown in the images; the snorkel extends and retracts smoothly, and the vacuum fill takes in and expels water as it should (I haven't tested the pen any further than that). The inlaid 14K gold nib appears to be a FINE width. The pen has been used... there are traces of ink on the feed and in the water expelled... but it could only have been handled lightly by its previous owner. The broad gold-filled cap band is shiny, with no loss of plating, and the clip still has the famous Sheaffer white dot. The pen comes in its hard clamshell Sheaffer box...also in good undamaged condition... and, more interestingly, with its original card Sheaffer PFM sleeve! The box also contains the small folded Sheaffer Guarantee and filling instructions. Price: £148.00 plus postage UK Special Delivery: £7.65 (fully insured) UK First Class Tracked 24/Signed for: £5.00 (insured to £50) International: £15.00 Payment: by PayPal, please to [email protected] *** SOLD ***

Nov22 02 Parker 'Arrow' fountain pen and fibre-tip pen
This model of the Parker Arrow was released in 1982... the matching pens are the 12k rolled gold ('Insignia'?) versions. The Arrow was manufactured both in the US and the UK... this is one from England.
The fountain pen nib is gold plated stainless steel and is almost tubular. It was designed with a black rounded lip over the nib, which was part of the section. The nib also had the imprint "Parker" in a semi-circle.
Both pens are in excellent cosmetic condition: the fountain pen may have been dipped, but shows no signs of wear. The fibre-tip refill appears to have dried out over time.

Nov22 22 Progress fountain pen
This large, early, Progress fountain pen has an equally-large solid 14k gold nib. The cap has been shortened, presumably after damage to the cap lip, but the cap still screws securely onto the barrel, and, given the overall size of the pen, does not detract from its impressive appearance. The black chasing on the barrel is in good condition, noting some wear through use, but no obvious damage.

Nov22 28 Early Waterman 'Red Ripple' mechanical pencil
Here is an early Waterman mechanical pencil in the sought-after 'red ripple' pattern. The pencil is in working condition, extruding the lead by turning the rippled cone. On examining the photograph of the pencil, I noticed that there is a crack in the clip by the lower fixing lug; I don't usually like to list items with obvious issues, but this is a very early example, and I'm guessing that a competent restorer could fix, or more likely replace, the clip, which in itself isn't particularly unusual or special.
Given that issue, £36.00

Nov22 29 Parker 45 'Harlequin' fountain pen and ballpoint
The Parker 45 fountain pen and ballpoint in the attractive and very collectable 'Harlequin' patterns. The fountain pen in the 'grey shield' pattern, and the ballpoint the less common 'black shield' version... not a set, but interesting nonetheless! Both steel pens in excellent condition. (I've noticed in the photograph that the barrel of the pen is not tight to the section... this isn't a problem, I just haven't screwed it tight after I checked the filler mechanism!)
The fountain pen is £48.00, the ballpoint £36.00.... or both for £75.00!

Here is a nice stainless steel SHEAFFER TARGA 1001x Fountain Pen and Rollerball set, made in the USA some time after 1978, in good collectable condition!
The set has no obvious signs of damage or heavy use. The fountain pen is fitted with a new Sheaffer black ink cartridge, the rollerball with an (expired) rollerball cartridge. The set comes in its original plastic SHEAFFER box (some scratching to the surface); the box has loops for three pens, so the pen and rollerball may once have had a ballpoint or pencil companion!
The fountain pen's steel nib looks to be a fine width, and is undamaged. It has the imprint: 'SHEAFFER USA'.
Each pen: Length: approx. 140mm capped, 155mm posted.
Please note that the set is being sold as an unrestored collectable: the fountain pen does write smoothly with its new cartridge, but the rollerball is untested due to its expired cartridge. SOLD

Here is a nice black EVERSHARP SKYLINE fountain pen with gold trim, made in the USA in the 1940s, in good collectable condition!
The pen has no obvious signs of damage or heavy use, noting only some roughness to one side of the derby, one small scratch (2mm?) to the side of the cap, and a slight depression (3mm) on one side of the clip where the end has been pushed sideways. No lip cracks or further damage. Minimal (if any) signs of brassing to the clip and cap bands. Minor brassing to the high point of the filler lever.
The gold nib, believed to be 14ct, looks to be a fine width, and is undamaged. It has the imprint: 'EVERSHARP 14K MADE IN USA' on three lines.
The pen is a lever filler, and will need a new sac before it can be used.
