That’s great that you’re starting to narrow down what you like. Subconsciously you’re prioritizing the features and design parameters that appeal to ur sensibilities and order of importance. That local pen shop actually had a Dumas ballpoint in the oversized large packaging (father signature) that comes with the letter and all that hoopla, for just $700. It was beautiful. I was also tempted. If interested, I can share their contact info. No Dumas fountain pen that I saw on the shelf but they had so many of the WE and POA pens. I was told not everything was on display. 
 

The ballpoint looked new to me. They also had a Hemingway ballpoint sealed in box. Both signature seals were unbroken. There was probably about 50 discontinued WE and POA pens on the shelf. 

The other suggestion I have is contact Bryant Greer at Pentime and tell him what you’re looking for and he’ll source it for you. Give it time and he comes through. His pricing has always been fair and always less than eBay.

Regarding Bryant Greer, don’t you mean Chatterly Luxuries?

Yes. Bryant sold me several pens over the years and he’s pretty candid about what can be found and what price range for the condition. He’s tuned in with his clients, their collections and what they might want to sell or trade. I was very happy when he found me the Proust in about a month and what I consider a fair price. I trust him and know he stands behind what he sells. I would be very worried buying such a pen on eBay.
