_{Wilson Slim pen- do not know the model number. Please can any one tell us. Interestingly, Montex, being a much later company than Wilson, had made many of these Wilson Slim models, they used to name it " butterfly"!!}

These were all the old pens from Calcutta pen hospital. I had also bought four new airmail pens on the same day. I have many of these pens but the colour and trim combination of these pens attracted me too much. Paid Rs 350 each for the large ones and rs 200 each for the smaller ones. Here are the photos.

Wonderful finds Soumitra.

 

The Flair and the later butterfly pen that you mentioned, are actually copies of a Waterman. HTH.

 

Really intrigued to see the Sailor with the correct Logo albeit Screenprinted, a blatant copy I assume.

Wonderful finds Soumitra.

 

Oh is that his first name. Oops I've been calling him Sanya thinking it was short for sanyalsoumitra. Apologies Soumitra! I've really no idea with non-English names

 

 

 

Some really interesting nib shapes there, particularly with the Wilson slim and and steel chequered. Keep em coming!
