Nice, Will. You are right, that *would* make a nice first vintage for someone, classy material. I am certain I have a couple other Arnolds in the boxes of beater pens, I'll take a look. The trim on the one I posted may have degraded more by how it was treated rather than initial build quality, but once elements got down to the underlying steel parts it was all over. Still cheery, though... or bonkers!
