<P>Took me a while to get these ready, because my business is entering the busiest time of the year.<br><br>
First six pens are oversized black Balances. All are lever fillers with the later streamlined clips. Imprints vary a bit and are shown below in the detail photos.<br><br>
All pens have been cleaned, hand polished, and fitted with new sacs. They are ready to write.<br><br>
Nibs on the OS Balances are all Fine, except for #1, which appears to be a Medium.<br><br>
Hope this doesn't get too awkward with all the photos. I'll repeat the descriptions above each group of detail photos.<br><br>
Please add $7.50 shipping for US destinations for one pen, $1 extra for each additional pen. Please inquire about international shipping costs.<br><br>
I accept PayPal, check, or money order.<br><br>
First PM to say "I want it" gets the pen.<br><br>
Thanks for looking<br><br>--Karl</P>
