Peyronies pens! Is this a mini collection?
No, it seems inspired by Dalí

...it must be art!

For me Person B is where I lean toward, but have no doubt that this is not a simple this or that explanation.
Very cool. Congratulations! Pictures to come?

And then there are the pens you wish you still had.

It was a Sheaffer Legacy ("II", I think) with a touchdown filler that used the gold converters with the red ends. Alas, the touchdown mechanism never worked so I used the chrome squeeze converters instead. It didn't work as intended so I fell out of love with it and sold it. In hindsight, I should have been happy with the squeeze converters because I liked everything else about it, with its inlaid 14k stub nib and solid sterling cap and barrel.
The only pen I regret having sold is this one:

It's a Soennecken Rheingold of the very first generation of Rheingolds. The jade color wasn't perfect and I thought that I will find a better one.
Well, 15 years later, I still didn't...
As I recall it was more of a stub than an italic. All Mabie Todd pens of course.
I had forgotten just how much enjoyment this thread can offer, it is really worth it to go back to page 1
More pens I miss.

Ps. That is a Native American Flute. And yes I do play it! :)
On a vacation trip to Italy, I found two beautiful pens in a thrift store in Torino:

Aurora 88 and Soennecken 333 Extra
At home I have restored both of them:

The Aurora writes excellent, the Soennecken has not been tested yet.
I specially like the engraving on the section:

Nib was a replacement Osmiroid Italic - bit rough condition unfortunately.
