Thanks, David. I'm looking forward to those pics.

One pen i had not followed at length was the thin model Snorkel. Last
year having fallen into 100 or so of the wee beasties, i hadta do a
crash course. Now i follow 'em.
Another pen i've not focused much on is the 1940's celluloid Triumph
nib Sheaffers. In part because most (?) seem to be plunger fill, which
posed hassle. However, of late with more restorers using the method
advanced initially (?) by Nathan Tardiff, with parts put out there by
David Nishumura, these pens can be restored in rock solid fashion.
And... i've fallen into some of them. Go figure. The examples sold
here by Gerry seem quite nice; this prompted me to do some pics of
mine. And, those upturned nibs seem always to write well.
Later today will post a picture of a few really nice ones sitting
around. Would like to flesh out production era, price point, sizes, etc.
... later
