Hall of Shame

GP Diamante pictures

While the auction pictures made it very difficult to see the defects on this pen, here are some views which clearly show some of the problems I listed in the previous page.

Cap tassie is displaced off the cap by 1/16 inch

Brassing on clip, on the arrowhead and near the feathers

Section is greatly chewed up with large gashes on it

Convertor also is chewed up and aerometric sac is gone

Remnants of some black gunk on the nib and feed which is not dried ink
