Hi all
Just seen a couple of 51's on the Bay listed as Customs.
There is no mention of a "Custom" version on the usual 51 info sites so what makes these two customs.
And with English made 51's normally selling for little more than £30 and often quite a bit less, are these prices realistic for a Genuine custom if they existed
Just wondering as I have one in my box that's a bit of a mix of both these pens, it has the same cap and domed end barrel of one of them and the thin gold clutch ring of the other, could mine be another varient of the custom theme if they actually existed that is.
Thanks
Paul
