Thank you Werner!

Can I ask more - why around 1958? What did the Tropen pens look like before that?

Does anyone have more info on this pen? It's identical to the first Pelikano (1959-65) but there doesn't seem to be any documentation of a black version.

Hope someone might be able to help.

Could anyone help tell me the years of production for the Tropen Scholar, and what design changes there were? Lambrou mentions that Tropen sold 150,000 Scholar pens a year from 1945-1948, but doesn't say which year the pen was launched or when Tropen stopped production. Recently bought these Tropen ...

Thanks for your comment! I've since managed to identify it as an Aurea -- http://strangeknight.wordpress.com/2011/04/05/mystery-pen-black-and-burgundy-celluloid-button-filler/ But the pen could have been made by Omas. Apparently Aurea was a small pen company and had their pens made by Montegrappa etc.

Hi everyone! Recently found what looks like a frankenpen, but I can't ID what it originally was. Hope someone here might be able to help! - The overall shape seems Italian? http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/xx253/strangeknight/mystery1.jpg - Fairly large. Just a bit shorter than a Pelikan M800 - ht...

Am really looking forward to seeing the M800 Blue 'o Blue in person. The finish looks really interesting!

The Duo is cute. Just a question about the ink -- did Pelikan make it in-house or is it sourced from another manufacturer?

When was the Bastian Schweinsteiger Lamy AL-Star produced?

Thanks in advance

Most informative. Thank you!

All I can tell is that it's a Kaweco Dia, but which model?



btw it is about 12.6cm long.

Wow! Looks like a great show!

How do I find out more about the pen shows in Germany and in Europe? Is there a calendar? Are the shows always fixed during certain months?
