Beautiful .... in that box it would always be a keeper for me.

 

Are the bands gold? Is that a Christmas message engraved?

[Left FPN]

The Xmas box is a bonus.

 

It is engraved with the owners name and address.

 

The seller believes the bands are plated.

 

It has red 14 on the barrel end.

I suppose it'd be too much to hope for gold bands as well, but nevertheless, that is a beautiful pen in fantastic condition for the price paid, and the box is definitely a bonus. It is an eyedropper, isn't it? Does it have a #4 nib?

[Left FPN]

I am worried, the seller has sent it large letter.

 

Nothing from the seller when I questioned the packaging.

[chunya]

Oh dear ..... hopefully it's in a 'large letter' rigid box which should provide a degree of protection.

[Left FPN]

All is well, it has arrived safely.

 

Nice chasing and hand engraving and yes a #4 nib (can just make out the /] on the nib)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The clip may be gold plated. It has a stamp on the opposite side which says DOUBLE OR L&CH.

Wow, the colour, the imprints, and even the engraving (Im a sucker for tastefully done personalisations on vintage pens).

Great stuff! Looks even better than in the original picture! Is it an eyedropper?

 

I got a very old pen delivered this week, simply stuffed into in a jiffy bag, nothing else for protection.

It arrived intact, but ... well, let's not go down the road of 'things that could have happened'.

 

Congratulations again, it looks wonderful.

[Left FPN]

Yes an eyedropper.

[chunya]

Glad it arrived OK, and a beautiful pen that's been well looked after.

What a wonderful find Force. What does the engraving on the band say? How interesting that an US made pen ended up with a European designed accommodation clip. Yet another reason to wish "if only they could talk".

Pantysgawen is another place name so I assume it must have been the owners house name in Llansawel
