Re: The highlights of the fountain pen history

Antwort 20 Autor: werner Hello together, I admit, I'm not much of a Parker specialist, but I would say the Parker 51 definitely belongs to the milestones of the fountain pens. From the given design (Designer: László Mogholy-Nagy) as well as for its revolutionary ink feed (it was the first Parker 51 ...

Re: The highlights of the fountain pen history

Antwort 16 Autor: st.rochus Hello Renate, Even though I really like the Lamy Lady and also like writing with it, the combination of metal and porcelain is nothing new in the pen industry. Over 100 years ago, there used to be such beautiful objects made by A.W. Faber, called pocket pens. Beautiful, a...

Re: The highlights of the fountain pen history

Antwort 13 Autor: diogenes The M400 cannot be seen as a copy, as Pelikan simply restarted the production of the pen, even if a little modernized (e. g. the ink feed is different and not as flexible). The M400 is a later version of the 400, such as the 400N and the 400NN. The 400 is a pen that might ...

Dear Axel,
You are actually right, the MB 149 should not be forgotten, as it belongs to one of the few expensive pens that saved us over the 60s and 70s.
