I am looking for any information about Parker Trench Pen in red rubber. I posted the same topic on Lion&Pen (what happened there to the forum, it looks like the site is gone). I am interested in the price range and any ebay/Internet sale sightings. A Max Braude from Australia claims that he is the on...

I know a lot of you are much like me in that you prowl the dusty rooms of antique malls. When I still lived in Jefferson City I had a regular shop route I would hit asking for pens on a regular basis. It's been a few months since I've been around. I live 45 minutes away now so regular stops aren't going to happen...

It arrived this morning!! I need to rush off to work but a few quick first impressions: Size: woah a lot smaller than I thought it'd be, the shape is slightly different but the overall dimensions mirror my estie J. Length is fine could do with a bit more girth. Condition of pen: pretty good overall for a pe...

Hello guys, Well I want a piston filler, but I don't know which direction to go in. Can you recommend me some vintage pens that I could consider? Nothing too expensive. I saw the old Aurora 88s, but I'm not that keen on the styling of the pen. I've seen some nice vintagey MB piston fillers but I don't know if...

Hi all, As a novice I have wondered how one can identify the manufacturing dates of the various makes of pens. Is there a reference book which can be used? Thanks for your help, Roger

Back in 1995 or 96 I was the general manager of a smoke shop in The Florida Mall in Orlando Florida. Yep, prior to my career as a FP repair guy I was a Tobacconist for 8 years. Anyway, back then, the smoke shop was one of the only places in the mall where you could stop off and have a smoke. The general manager of...

I apologize in advance for not having posted a photo with this query. I came across a Tuckaway-sized Wearever. It's all metal; it looks like it might be solid brass. It has an aerometric-style filler, but uses a standard rubber sac. Can anyone tell me more about this pen? Thanks.

Question for the Parker experts!? With the P45's, were any of the barrel colors considered "rare"? Wanted to know if the dark barrel colors were harder to come by than the lighter colors (vice-versa). Thanks! Frank

Hi all, I will be taking a business trip in a passenger jet shortly and would like to know about taking fountain pens on planes. I have heard that if using a 'bladder' pen, for want of a better term, it needs to be completely full, or completely empty, due to change in air pressure forcing ink out in a messy e...

I picked this up last week & it's got me wondering just what it is. The pen is made of aluminium or some other similar light weight white metal alloy. It's a button filler.

In the past there have been a few topics on Soviet (Russian) fountain pens on Lion and Pen and on the FPN.?Perhaps we can start a new discussion here, and maybe some interesting information will surface. ?Are there people around here who have first hand knowledge of Soviet pens?
