You did not request information.

Awww... I think yer just teasin'.
I'm somewhat less worried about manners
I'm more concerned about the lack of context and insight in requesting *an* image of *all* of... well... anything.
Too, I'm not wholly comfortable to the uses to which such images might be put.
I'd start the game with a suggestion that Brandon outline what he considers the variations of the #12. A topic worthy of exploration.
Too, I await the price of the Parker Duofold Demonstrator whose image Brandon sent me.

Do you recall telling me you did not own it and that the photo was not yours when you offered it my way?
How do you know it was swapped?

I think i told you it wasn't mine... i talked to him, after showing him some offers, and after wasting some time he told me
from Brandon
David,
Here are some Parkers which we could work out, and the Duofold Demonstrator in Bakelite (i think);
Duofold, Green Junior, 3Band excellent colour, streamlined, fine nib
1947 Silver Pearl 2band Major Vac, Moderate Amber, Med nib
1946 Silver Pearl Jewellers Band Blue Diamond Major Vac, Moderate Amber Med. nib
1946 Set in Silver Pearl, 2 Band Major Vac, Medium Amber Med Nib SET
1939 Golden Pearl Debutante 3 band Speedline Vac Medium Amber Double Jewel
1938 Golden Pearl Debu
from David: The Demo looks like ~1930. Quite uncommon... and fragile. Condition really will matter on this one. Do you have a target value on it?
regards
david
from Brandon: David,
Im not selling it Im just wondering what you'd value it at? Is it Bakelite or plastic?
<br clear="all">Best Regards,
Brandon
from Brandon, Thanks,
So i shouldn't use it...
Posted 03 October 2012 - 12:17 AM
From Brandon: Please get back to me on market value for the Duofold.
SNIP
Thanks, I was also thinking in the $800 range.

Is that a retail price...

Brandon:Are you maybe interested in selling your Duofold demonstrator? Ive got a rare Waterman 'World's Smallest Fountain Pen' which id be interested in trading. Please email me at XYZ, as i dont come here very often. Best Regards,Brandon
Brandon:You weren't interested in the Waterman's World's Smallest Fountain pen? Would you be kind to send me pictures of those pens that i mentioned (sterling silver, piston fillers,etc) to my email so that we could maybe do a different type of trade? Best Regards,Brandon
George:I have a beautiful A.A. Waterman BHR pearl slab, i dont have pictures, but ill have it back tomorrow.
Brandon:Brandon,I would be very interested in the pearl slab Waterman - that's a great pen.George
George:What types of Parker are you looking for? Do you have any sterling Lucky Curve's/Duofolds? I have the potential for a few P51 prototypes if you wanted to trade the demonstrator and any silver pens as stated above. Also any bamboo, or other silver pens no matter the name im interested in.
Brandon:What type of 51 prototypes?
George:Ill see what i can find, what about any of the pens i mentioned?
Brandon:How is the pearl slab Waterman? Also, I'd be interested in the 51 prototypes you have.George
George:I actually just traded it. It was just an A.A. Waterman with a 12k warranted nib. Ill message you when im able to get the P51's from a folder im having sent back to be. Could you email me the photo's of this pen and the other silver pens,etc; we discussed. Best Regards,Brandon
Brandon:What type of prototypes are the 51's? Can you describe them?
George:I haven't pulled them out in probably 6 months. Let me locate them first, and you'll be more than happy.
Brandon:Wow, you must have quite a collection if you haven't looked at 51 prototypes in 6 months! Looking forward to the descriptions.You don't remember even some details about them? Any?George
George:Well, any interest in my Waterman World's Smallest Fountain Pen? Any pictures of your pens would be appreciated...
Brandon:Any details on the prototype 51's at all? I know you will give me pictures of them later, but any details now?George
After some more banter, Brandon Offers me this trade for a Duofold Demo. Parenthesis added by meThey are Parkers and are prototypes Ive sent you some pictures of the World's Smallest fountain pen... Any interest?
Well,The Navy Gray P51 is as even as a trade gets (for the duofold demo), with more leverage on your side, but it doesn't matter. The Burgandy, you'd probably have to add a few hundred dollars to the trade to me (for the duofold demo). Did you say you have any silver Duofolds, Lucky Curves, Jack knives, or other miscellaneous silver pens? Also in the demo, there is a sac correct? Are there any cracks? Best Regards,Brandon

Well the pen was first going to be for my collection, but after learning it was too fragile, probably for me to own, i figured id try to find a buyer if i happened to be able to trade for it.
