Working from the left, the first 6 pens are
early models as identified by the ball clip:

SOLD
Brown marbled Mentmore Auto-Flow lever filler. Medium
Mentmore Osmi Iridium 14ct nib. This nib has an unusual tip which
allows the pen to write inverted as a fine grade nib. The pen is in very
good condition.

Mentmore Osmi Iridium 14ct nib. This nib has an unusual tip which

the clip and extra breather holes have been drilled in it.
