Agreed. The repair work that a few of you are doing on these has changed the
game.
That new front-end material Ron tracked down is impressive.
And, the pens really are sharp looking. A late 1940's Sentinel or Autograph has
serious Oomph for collectors who have my aesthetic preferences compared to the
more bland "51", though I like that pen pretty well too ;)

Nice display, David. Bravo! Proper restoration makes these pens among
the more user-friendly pens available. I agree with you that they are
"[i]nsufficiently appreciated ", but they are becoming less so.
