How To Tell A Pfm From An Imperial In Photos

[crescentfiller]

 

I bought my PFM V for $10 at a flea market. It still had the original chalk mark on the barrel

 

Also, as Haribon and JonSzanto stated, if you are knowledgeable of what you are looking for, bargains are still to be had.

 

They are indeed! I landed a green PFM I at a house sale two years ago for one dollar (actually, the box of pens and pencils was one dollar!); a year later, I snagged a black PFM I at a flea market for fifteen bucks. They are out there waiting to be scooped up! And, once you see one in real life, you'll never mistake one for an Imperial.

Wow! Well, that sure bested my find. I've never done too well at garage sales, but I occasionally do find something.

A green PFM I for a dollar!!! That makes my $136 black PFM I a loser (but I'm enjoying its right left oblique stub nib):

My feet may be strange but isn't that a left foot oblique?

Lapus manus. You're absolutely right, it's a left foot oblique.

Ah, the other right.

I'm guessing it's an Imperial VI cartridge. If the clip is marked "Lifetime", a Lifetime 1500. Better if you could provide a picture of your pen to identify it correctly.
