Two rare and beautiful vintage pens made of caseïne

Brand: both pens no name.
Country of origin: the caseïne bodies + the use of aluminum metal parts indicate they are presumably French or else maybe Belgian made.
Production year: presumably early 1930's
Material: Body and cap of both pens are pearly gray with red marbled caseïne.
Both pens are obviously made from the same stock but probably from different manufacturers;
clips and levers are white metal (nickle plated steel); cap rings and cap tops are aluminum,
Feeders and sections are ebonite (black hard rubber)
Nibs: The original steel nibs were rusted and damaged beyond repair, so I replaced them. The larger pen has a modern steel IPG style F/M nib; imprint: Iridium point Paris. The smaller pen has a gold plated vintage F nib; imprint: NAVY - Super Quality - 865. See writing samples for both pens in the pictures below.
Filling system: both pens are lever fillers
Measurements:
The larger pen: capped: 130 mm; uncapped 115 mm; posted 155 mm. diameter over barrel 12,2 mm; over cap 13.8 mm
The smaller pen: capped: 114 mm; uncapped 105 mm; posted 145 mm. diameter over barrel 11,7 mm; over cap 13.5 mm
Condition: Very Good. Plating loss on the clip of the larger pen. New silicon ink sacs. Pens are completely rebuilt, clean and write smooth.
