    Question about fountain pens

    My vintage pens have all run well with Shaeffer's, Parker and Waterman inks. Some of the newer makers' inks seem to cause older pens to be fussy occasionally

    Smelly old SMLE - advice on stocks?

    There are three lengths of buttstocks for the SMLE, the shortest is marked S and the longest L. The standard length is usually unmarked.

    Question about fountain pens

    The Sheaffer's generally have wonderful nibs, check the sack with water first, then use it to your heart's content!

    Question about fountain pens

    Say Max, can you replace nibs on pens? I have a beautiful mystery pen made from 2 tone ebony that has the worst nib on it in 4 states.

    Hatter4, those are really neat guns. One more thing about nazi marked guns, there has been so much faking of stamps that unless you can document that it was a Nazi firearm, don't pay extra for it.

    Also, many manufacturers will have extra parts left over from a particular run and will then use them later as needed. That could explain the discrepancy in apparent manufacture dates. S&W is well known to have done this with tested and approved 1917 frames, using them into the late 20s.

    Spain and Star [and any other arms maker that wasn't already] produced weapons for one side or the other during WW2. Stars were popular as they were well made and reliable. A Nazi SS mark would have also been styled differently and had the "dirty bird" stamp as well. CDNN has magazines in stock...

    The problem I would have with myself open carrying is that I don't want the criminals to know I am armed. If hunting that is different, just my two cents.
