Acquisitions!

The drought (of pen buying) has broken. This last week I was up to my old tricks, buying duplicates from collectors, and scouting around eBay. Some nice pens were had:

• Radius - Italian, 1940's ladies button-filler. Brown marbled celluloid, 14K Flexible F nib.
• Sheaffer Valiant - Snorkel. Fern Green, 14K Triumph F nib.
• Pilot Custom 98 - Deep Yellow, 14K EF nib.
• Duchessa (Montegrappa sub-brand) - Italian, 1930's ladies button-filler, NOS. Pink marbled celluloid. 14K Flexible F nib.

An interesting little lot... :)

I don't think I've mentioned what work Richard will be doing on the pens I've sent him, so this a breakdown:
