I purchased this pen with a few other fountain pens in my first ever purchase on the cheap (you don’t want to know how low), and would love help identifying this beauty. I found out that it’s from Sampson Mordan, and seems to be a dip pen, but I can’t find any other identical versions of this online, though there are a few similar ones. I’ve had this for a while and it’s a favorite to hold, thought I’d share it to appreciate the beauty, and for any info the community might have on it.

The nib has: J. Simmons & co. VICTORIA CROSS Registered no. 79738 trademark

Any thoughts on the model, and what it might be worth?

Edit: Thanks all for your feedback!!! Good to know what they are, even if they aren’t ancient priceless treasures 🫠

Hi all - I picked up this pile of coins at a yard sale recently, anyone have any idea if these are real, what era they might be from, and around what they might be worth? Didn’t pay much ($10) for them, owner mentioned picking them up a long time ago in Honk Kong but I’m curious to know more. Thanks in advance!
