Here are most of mine. All made by De la Rue at least seventy years ago.

 

From the left, a 3000, hard rubber, no.3 nib, wearing its aftermarket nickel silver clip, an interloping De La Rue Pen with lever fill and what is obviously an Onoto 22 nib marked “TDLR&Co”, a maroon K2, a black K1 with an italic nib, a pair of 6235s, with no.5 two colour nibs, a Magna pencil and a Magna, with its No.7 nib.

 

The picture with most of them capped shows the K2 with the hood off to show the nib. Despite being 70 years old the “window” hasn’t “ambered” at all.

 

They are all a pleasure to write with and they are all practical everyday pens.
 

Gorgeous collection, thank you for sharing.   I'm eager to add a Magna to my collection, and I'm not a patient man, it's very trying!
