Nice set, pretty hard to come by as well. The auction should do well!

Wow, I guess so. I just had a peek and with 10 bids and 5 days to go it's already up to $710.00. I wonder how high it will go?

I think we might be only halfway to the final price. You just don't see these very often, and a lot of people want them. Me, I just wish I had the pencil! I was lucky enough to buy the pen years ago and have been looking ever since for a matching pencil.

I'm not an expert of 51 and I learn from you that the design of the cap is called fishscale. I thought that this term indicates the caps of 41 as this

The 51 fishscale design is more elaborate and the cap is solid 14K gold. This was one of the luxury models.

Don't want to hijack this thread, but even though it differs only slightly from a 41 and 21 Super, isn't this pen more properly a Debutante?
