Overpriced. You can get a lot more pen for that money.

I didn't mean it to be rude, but just my subjective take on it. However, somehow I overlooked the fact that this was in the "For Sale" area, and thought it was someone pointing out some bargains. For this reason, I do apologize, as I have no intention to cause a hit to your sales. I would be happy to redact that post, if you like (and you could remove my quote as well). Let me know.

Everything else aside, Artus became Lamy in 1957, so they pre-date the 1960s. I can vouch for the 10P because I own three of them. The blue 10P is quite fetching. Also, the pens all appear to be NOS -- is this the case, Christopher?

Be seeing you.

Thank you for that information, we weren't 100% sure on the dates. Our partner in Austria believes that these pens were models for a salesman, so we aren't sure if that qualifies as NOS.

Just found this thread. Actually, the Artus brand was continued into the 1960s as Lamy's budget brand, aimed mostly at students. This pen was definitely a 1960s pen, as it uses the modern nib design that was introduced in 1961/62 and is still in use today in the Lamy 2000. Also, Lamy cartridge fountain pens were not introduced until after 1961. My 1961 Lamy catalog shows only piston fill pens.
