Carl
I think you misread my last post . It’s was all meant to be totally complementary . Your collection is brilliant and every time you post something it continues to amazed most of us . Please read it again with that tone in mind. I personally think your a great addition to this forum.

If you want a USAAF pen set look for the Morrison "patriot"
Looks good to me !!How did I do Carl? I just acquired this Army one for $65.50 shipped. unrestored but in working condition. Seemed like a good price to me!
1942 Morrison Patriot Army Visual Vaccum Fountain Pen
Original Mint Working
Condition: Used, all original parts that still function the same way as if we just bought the pen brand new minus the ink stains inside the visual vacuum filler that you can see which is normal. The pen has not been restored nor has it been fully taken apart or polished. This pen still has its original two seal gaskets located inside the visual vacuum filler which are not dry rotted as majority of most Patriots that you will find today would be. These still probably work allowing you to fill the pen exactly like using a syringe. (Please note that this pen may be is excellent/mint shape but it is still used and with all used items it features small and light surface scratches to the clear on top celluloid just like any other fountain pen from this era.
