one Kenpen, 3-4 Watermans that are 'regular' - ball point, I guess, and then at least two Itoyas (Korea) and then a handful of ones I can't easily identify.

My dad used to collect them; I'm thinking about eBay but I have no clue where to start ...

Otherwise, you might find similar pens on eBay that have sold, browse until you see the same or similar models.
