Can Someone School Me On The 144 Vermeil Variations

[LargeSofa]

Hi - I know there is the pinstripe version and also the barley version, but I think there was also one version where it has alternating flat sections and then some barley or wavy stripes. I have seen this before on the 146 in silver, it is not that easy to find. Does anyone know what model these 144's would be and also any pictures of this one I am mentioning where it has the alternating design, which is really my favorite of the 146. I wonder if they did this in vermeil on the 146 as well. Thanks.

I cannot find any images or info on the 144 in vermeil of the style I mention above.

 

This is a auction for the 146 silver in the style, that I like - I wonder did they make the 146 like this in vermeil?

Kinglarge, the pen on eBay is called "Pure Silver" and was never made in Vermeil.

And your last picture shows a steel body - no silver.

thanks. I didnt think that maybe the 144 was not silver, but steel... makes sense. I wonder if the 144 was made in gold b/c I bought one online and it is being shipped to me. I own 50+ MB and am pretty darn certain it is real, but can't find much info about this pattern.

Seller was actually super nice and I think is totally legit... paid with credit card with buyer protection and we agreed if the pen was a fake, I would return it for a refund (but I will pay shipping round trip)... hopefully it is real, just never seen this one before...

This thread really has a lot of info, I only found it after you told me the pen series is called "Pure Silver". it does seem to me like they made a 144 in the series and that it was indeed silver, nothing leads me to believe it would not be. model 23644...

still no info about a gold colored version, so still very odd and kind of fun to eagerly await my shipment (even if it is a fake)...

 

so who thinks its fake? I wont be insulted. Also - the listing said it was gold, and the pics make me think it is gold, but we all know sometimes the silver pens, look like gold in color, so maybe it is actually just the silver pen. HMMMM!

* gold colored that is, not real gold....

[LargeSofa]

seller shipped it... says the body color is indeed gold. boy, I am so curious. Certainly massively increases the chances the thing is a fake...

[LargeSofa]

I guess I am the only one curious!!! ok!

Womp. Pen was fake... Sending it back. Oh well.

So sorry to hear that. I guess most of us were thinking it, but just did not want to ruin your prospects that it might actually be a real deal. Enjoy the hunt.
