Sheafer Imperial Black

 
Sheafer Imperial Black  : Got this well restored pen in an e-bay auction for $ 45 incl postage. there are minor marks on the barrel- will attend later. Dip test on the nib showed excellent smoothness. Will revert with a full review later. The nib has in addition regular prints , number 585 printed -do not know what that means. Need to find out from Sheafer forums later. Whenever I buy a vintage pen I  try to wonder about its history, sad story is- no one tells you.

Wing Sung 103 : Styled like Parker 45 Flighter this golden pen is quite a looker with ultra smooth fine-medium nib. Ebay retail about $ 14/-. Will write a full review later.

Cracked lether finish barrel pen.

This pen was lost in transit. After much request the HongKong seller finally agreed to send another free of cost. I remember the e-bay price around $14, but do not remember the exact figure. This is a little larger than regular size, little heavy pen and fitted with a large nib [medium broad]. Will write full review later. I like the look and feel of this pen.
