Is there anything I should do/know before i try filling for the first time? The pump is a metal tube with a section that presses in, marked 'made in usa'.

I hold each & every one of you responsible for the Mergress, the Muhle 89 the extra 2 Mama Bear soaps I'm awaiting from Badger & Hone ; and now Michael has let me have an Ever Ready SE so there's another 100 blades ordered ! I shall soon need another Tupperware shaving box to hide. So, no more Fountain pen chat plse ............ that could become my next obsession .

there were razors there, a schick injector in the enclosed bit when you first go in, two valet razors also inside, a gillette new inside a grooming kit, and an aristocrat inside a display case but the seller wanted £45 for it !

Now that is scary! :lol:
For those of you who have never been to Kempton, it's freaking huge, open for hours and the chances of even finding the person your with if you get separated is near impossible!!
I saw the injector and valets - also a load of straights kicking about but nothing worth a punt. And now Sunbury knows what I look like.... :?
neocaligatio said:According to a number of rather detailed pen sites, it's a Parker 45 CT. Glad we got that one sorted out.
Still no ink though...
neocaligatio said:Also, as you were interested in nabbing it too - thought you'd like to know it writes beautifully :mrgreen:
