I can say with certainty that any other pen I may have presently or in the future would take a second place to the two pens below. Both date to 1989, both are new, never inked, the ballpoint has the original refill, both have all papers and boxes, etc. I have another pair just like it which I will use. It's rare when as a collector, or gatherer rather, you can achieve what you consider perfection for many reasons.
Of course, I'm not saying in any way that these pens are better than any other pen as the finish is plastic and not any kind of magic lacquer, the gilding tends to flake off, it uses a lowly converter instead of being piston filled, they are not utterly expensive, back when they were a marketing gimmick of sorts, but I would not trade them for any other pen.
Thank you for reading and putting up with me.
