10150: Eversharp Skyline Command Performance set in box: classic wartime lever-filler, 13.3 cm long, with matching 1.1 mm injector pencil, both in solid 14K gold; both are engraved but undinged, though pencil has a couple of extremely shallow fleabites if examined closely under reflecting light. Pen is unusual variant with blunt barrel end, deep finger recess at lever end -- weight is nearly 2 grams greater. Nib has a large tip, but behaves like a medium semi-stub. Box includes original price card; guarantee, oddly enough, is for a Fifth Avenue rather than a Skyline set. Asking price is less than $100 over current gold value.
