How acquiring works

Every piece in the collection is one of one. When you enquire about a pen, the first substantive enquiry places a 48-hour courtesy hold — the piece shows as Reserved while we correspond, so it cannot be sold out from under a serious conversation. Payment and dispatch details are agreed directly, person to person.

Authenticity, guaranteed

Each piece is vetted for authenticity and significance before it is offered. If a piece is ever shown not to be what we described it to be, we will take it back — without time limit.

The examination period

Every acquisition carries a 14-day examination period from delivery: live with the pen, examine it against its inspection report, write with it. If it is not what you hoped, return it in the condition received for a full refund of the purchase price.

Condition language

Condition grades (New Old Stock, Near Mint, and so on) describe preservation state. Every piece is additionally serviced — seals, ink system, adjustment — and brought to full writing order before it is offered. Both facts are always reported.
