If you need an Eversharp cap in that red color and a Platinum barrel and nib in black, this would be an excellent purchase, right?

This listing reminds me of the Pelikan Silvexa pen/pencil set that I purchased on eBay. When the set arrived, I found that the pen was broken with the threaded section in the top of the pen. The seller tried to justify this with "that is the way ballpoint pens were back then" which is, of course, not true. Luckily for me, eBay did not see it that way either, and I won my dispute for a full refund.

 

At least in this listing, the seller does state that the cap and body ("the nib and the barrel") for the "pen" are different types. It does strike me as funny that the seller would state that the nib and the barrel "may not be correct for this pen". It is interesting that the statement indicates that the seller associates the cap with "the pen" as (s)he states that the nib and the barrel "may not be correct for this pen" rather than stating that the cap may not be correct for the pen.
