Two aerometric Parker 51s and a Sheaffer PFM I. One of the 51s is in very nice shape, with a pristine rolled gold cap. The other cap, a lustraloy one, is in need of a polish.

 

I paid very little for the 51s, respectively 15 and 10 euros. On the other hand, I fear I might have overpaid the PFM, at 120 euros. It's my first PFM, though, and I always wanted one.

Nice haul. If the PFM is fairly clean, you did ok.

51's were cheap, the PFM for 120 Euro is not outlandish by any stretch, they tend to sell for $150-200 US consistently on eBay except for those well described and restored which often sell for more.

Both Parkers were badly misdescribed. The PFM too. "Sheaffer pen" or something like that. It had a fairly high BIN, I offered a lot less and my offer was accepted.
