Interesting Auction

[mke]

Perhaps someone is interested in this 1950s pen:

I am not the seller nor do I know who it is.

Wow. Looks very well preserved.

Interesting pen, but even more interesting restoration work and good photography. So, as I can't read Japanese, a few questions; please answer if indicated, does it have a cracked cap and if so has that crack been repaired, or am I seeing something else, perhaps a scratch?

It appears to have a noticeable amount of shrinkage, and possibly some warping, is that addressed? And finally, the mechanism, what condition is noted on it?

The polishing is quiet good, and very even, but alas, I shall not bid as the pen is a bit too small for my hand and I lack the Japanese to communicate clearly.

I can't answer anything about this pen. No relationship to the seller.

 

It says the pen is restored and the filling mechanism works. Nothing about the cap.

Google Translation works well in this case.

 

115 bookmarks means the price will be much higher at the end of the auction.

Nice! I love these striated MBs. I have the green myself and I am looking out for the grey.

The colournon the one being auctioned is not so great - it has started to deteriorate, but for the right price it might still be OK
