No, don't have the skills for that :) . Its an original parker tray going back to either the 51/Vac era (not sure when exactly), really nice.

Coming from the guy who contacted me unsolicited to buy my Marine Blue Duofold (mint condition with a BB nib) and tried to downplay the rarity of it, and tried to convince me it was barely worth 250 Australian dollars so he could then onsell it for 375 US dollars? Nah mate. That's scummy.

Ok buddy, you are obviously spoiling for a keyboard war so I will leave that to you.

Spoiling for a keyboard war? I'm just letting the general public know that you're the type to lowball people and try to convince them their stuff isn't valuable in the hope that you can then try to onsell it for a nearly 100% profit after suddenly deciding it's hugely rare.

To the general public, by this seller's own admission to me, he paid 250AUD (195USD) for the pearl/black vein one (he admitted that to try to convince me my Marine Blue wasn't worth even that). He then tried to convince me my Marine Blue was worth 200AUD (155USD) so he could then onsell that for over twice that price later.

The chutzpah.

Apparently you don't realize that the way of collectors is that they try ro chisel each other down on prices. Happens all the time. It is part of the landscape. The rest of yhe "public" might be quite the same, so this is a waste of the annoyance I have experienced looking at this rant.

Apparently you don't realise that the entire world isn't the same as America, and where I am, this attempt at taking advantage of naivety is considered dishonest and distasteful. Quite frankly, I'm glad the majority of the pen community where I am doesn't share this attitude or behaviour.
