I just won these on ebay for 19.95 each, what model are they does anyone know?  Is this a good deal on these pens?  As some of you may know I am new to this game.

I believe those are Sheaffer Imperials made in the mid/late 1990's. $20 a pop. Thats about what I'd expect from them if I had them up for sale. Great writers & I love the inlaid nibs. Nice buy.

Modern pens are nice but you should look at vintage sheaffers. I warn you though, vintage pens are addicting....lol

Enjoy!
Dennis

I have already found that out, considering in the last three days, I have bought about 12 of them.
I recently received a Wearever Pioneer.  It is the third one from the left.  It needs a new lever and a j bar but I don't have the parts nor have I done any research on how to replace it.  How much would you charge me to fix that for me?  I already have the nib section out and it is ready to go.  This is your picture, I am sure you know that though.  It is the only one that I could find to show you the pen that I have. 
Thanks,
Wesley

"I have already found that out, considering in the last three days, I have bought about 12 of them."

LOL welcome to the dark side.

"I recently received a Wearever Pioneer.  It is the third one from the left."


The clip says pioneer? Uh...I dont have one in that color in a poineer. I'll trade you something tasty from my duplicate stable if your interested. 

" It needs a new lever and a j bar but I don't have the parts nor have I done any research on how to replace it.  How much would you charge me to fix that for me?  I already have the nib section out and it is ready to go."

I have a lever I'll donate, I'll drop it in with your pen when it hits the door Monday. A j bar from just about any parts pen will work. Let me know if you need one. BTW, That smaller 14K nib I sent will drop right in this one. A MUCH better upgrade than the gp junk nib (stainless? Durium 4? or 'Wearever'?) it has in it right now.

I'm not taking on outside repairs right now, BUT I can walk you through it. it's not hard & you'll only need a couple of basic hand tools to get started. Kind of late right now for a big write up. I'll do one & post it in the repair forum tomorrow. 

 "This is your picture, I am sure you know that though.  It is the only one that I could find to show you the pen that I have."

I don't mind my pics being used here on this site.

Talk at ya tomorrow,
Dennis

Actually it is more like one of these.  The first one to be exact.

I would like to have one of those gorgeous parker 51's that you have.  What would it take to take one of those off your hands?  Anyway let me know.  I have quite a little collection of Wearever's so far.
