You might try Rotring.

I dont have a picture, but, what about the Rotring 600 series pens. They are milled out of a solid, hexagonal piece of metal. It is heavy and durable. In fact a friend of mine, a capt. in a USArmy Ranger BN carried one through 2 tours in Afghanistan. He said the rollerball pen and the pencil from the set I sent him worked perfectly. He also said that he is sure he could have used those pens as a weapon in a CQC situation.

I think Fahrney's in DC had the thsi series on closeout sale.

Another option would be one of the metal Danitrio's that Winedoc was selling here and on the Green Board. You might try PMing him, and seeing if he has any left, or putting up a WTB ad on the Green Board. You can find a great review of these pens here.

Are you looking for something military/police "style", aka "wannabe" (some good pens suggested so far) or something that is actually practical in the field?

Bill,

Only "wannabe". I just like that style.

 

To others: Thanks to all your suggestions. I will check it.

;)

I think a black Lamy Safari would work as well as an all black Namiki Vanishing Point.

Yep, I have the "charcoal" Safari and it looks all business. I haven't come across the "stealth" VP yet but the pics would agree. I have seen a Pilot Knight in a dark gray that looks similar, too.

 

BTW, a good friend who passed away last week used to carry a Parker Vector BP in the "camoflage" pattern. He was a good story teller and often used the pen as a conversation starter. I don't know if there was ever a FP version, but I would love to find one. I'll have to research it (or ask the forum).

I have 2 old FP's, of no remarkable brand, in a jungle camouflage, green and brown blotches. Can't imagine what the pen is hiding from so it must be a fashion statement. I've refurbished both of them so if one floats your boat (oops, wrong metaphor) just let me know.

In S.T.Dupont's range, there is also this one:

Its name is DRILL; regular size, in brushed palladium, with blue or green rubber inserts, and this square hook at the top of the cap.

Not a Sheaffer Lifetime Imperial, that's for sure. How about a 1930 Waterman Lady Patricia? Here's a link to Richard Binder's article on military clips, complete with a bunch of nice photos and great info. Probably not what you had in mind, but...

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
