Those are first class photographs of first class pens. I am especially taken with the Mandarin Duofold: I made a crucial mistake not purchasing one of those when they were new to the market.

Thank you for that - I enjoy the photography as much as the pens.  I did buy, in fact, 2 at the the time but then sold off most of my pens to help pay for #1 son's engineering degree in Munich.  So this one is a "recoup" buy.  I think this model is the very best Parker did, primarily due to the one-piece section and also the nice barrel and nib engraving.  
i like the Greenwich one too.

I had a Centennial Duofold in the mottled scarlet/black/flat-top style but it vanished years ago. I do however still have the wooden box for it. 

Once again, nice pens and photos!
