Here’s another Altura combo. I can’t add a precise date but it’s undoubtedly later than the other and pre-war. It’s a rather more standard combo than the earlier one but elegant in its curving lines and mid-cap clip. The latter is something that De La Rue often used in their pens and it isn’t entirely surprising to discover that there was a close relationship between Altura and De La Rue.

Thanks to Andy Russell for the picture.
