Beautifull Autograph collection, congratulations !

Seeing your collection surely increases my appetite, please stop showing these beautifull pens, the contains of my wallet actually not permits to buy me these !

Well, my picture isn't going to be that nice but this is a Senior Marine Green Autograph with a factory clip that's been mis-applied. Everything is tight though and the pen looks uninked though it was very lightly used at one time. The color is much better than the pic shows.

I have this one on the way. minor scratches on the cap and barrel that should buff out nicely.

Y'all have probably seen this one before, but it's the only picture of a 14K-trim Sheaffer that I have handy. I'll shoot some others when I get a chance.

Hi Daniel. I really like the photo setup on that one. I'll borrow it for my next one.

This next picture is a 1918 #8 Black Hard Rubber Autograph. The cap, nib, early feed and section are all excellent. The original barrel is just ok so a 1924 Radite model is standing in until a nice rubber one can be found. This pen is what most would call the rarest of all the Autograph pens.

As for the next suspect, this one is a Full Size Balance Autograph in Black and Pearl dating from 1933 or 1934. Near mint condition with mild discoloration of the barrel. Two tone nib.

yeah, since that Balance has a bit of discoloration to the barrel, you should really find a perfect one. go ahead and box it up and send it to me, and i'll pay the postage for your trouble :lol:

 

seriously though, beautiful pen!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
