The black/silver/red conjugation and the straight lines makes the design look so contemporary.

They are very slick looking, which may be why they ended up going for more than I was prepared to pay. The one that got away? A pristine ivory coloured Imperial Good Companion Model 5 in a beautiful leather case. I think the hammer went down on £54.
