Fabulous Fountain Pens - Golden Era classics you can use today!

Yep, silver/grey (I've seen it referred to as both, not sure which one is correct).

I almost bought an Azure Junior, but I found this Silver Major for about $10 less, so it suited my needs a little better.

Azure and green Vacumatics are gorgeous - regardless of the level of transparency.

What I really want is an Imperial Shadow vacumatic Maxima with a two-tone nib. That would be grand.

The Maxima is impressive, a friend of mine in the SCPCC found one at a flea market about 3 years ago in really good condition. He cleaned it up and all i could say was WOW!

Do you have a pic?

If anyone knows of any Azures for sale in good condition for a decent price, please let me know!

Here's one for sale on the FPN:

The platinum mask was completely worn off, sadly.

Here's a picture of an Azure vac with some of the platinum mask remaining:

There was another picture of a restored dual tone nib, but I think it was taken down. In perfect condition, the effect is beautiful.

As a note, only the higher end pens were equipped with dual tone nibs. Mono-tone gold nibs were standard.

*EDIT* Just found this picture posted on the FPN:



It looks to be in near perfect condition. The pen itself is almost completely transparent, too.
