Seems offering helpful advice is considered reason enough to ban you from buying any of his pens that you weren't trying to buy and were withdrawn from sale earlier in this clusterfuck of a thread.
Vintage. Cursive italic. Iron gall.

Fair enough. But it doesn't seem, even in retrospect, that nothing else was going on here. Odd reactions, too puzzling for me. Things for sale, things not for sale, "I just want to chat" (this means the sale offers were insincere), then anger and spite and, ultimately, not a single pic with a date on it (whether it is from a newspaper or not). And Fred said things were worked out... And then they weren't....
Not reassuring for buyers, which was my point of entry.

He has had his quota of forum inches.
I suggested that he calmed down, he ignored that and pulled the pin.
Buying and selling is a personal transaction based on trust.
Well, things certainly developed after I posted and I'm not advocating dealing with this particular chap. But if we publicly jump down every new member's throat who does something a bit odd with the assumption that they're a scammer, even less volatile people are likely to react pretty negatively. That was the burden of my song.
In the words of Paul Simon, you can call me Al.
