Hello Azkid,
I have just noticed your location!
Is it true that Denver is a mile high (5280 feet) above sea level?
Absolutely true! At least a few spots like the steps of the Capitol...

Of course there's all sorts of variation in the area. I'm on the south end of the metro area at 5519 ft ASL.
A shot comparing complete sets of Waterman Juniors and Eversharp Oxfords, both from the mid/late-1930s. I was intrigued to discover that both models shared the same range of colors:

BCHR pens from America with NPT. None is too uncommon, but it took quite some time to find squeaky clean examples:

There's a storm raging outside in the UK today, travel is discouraged, so I thought that I would share my mini-collection that I call "Pens whose makers I have met"

I am a real fan of Jack Row, his work is of the highest quality,
https://www.jackrow.com/
And he is such a pleasant, unassuming young man. A privilege to do business with him.
I am not so sure about his more expensive "Architect" and "Jaali" pens, a bit blingy for me, but he obviously knows his target market.
I love that Twiss pen. John Twiss always seems to find such gorgeous materials, old French celluloids for instance. I regret not buying one of those pens when I met him at Cambridge pen show... I got a second hand Twiss pen a bit later but it's not quite as lovely as RWS's.
