Marlen Pens

[Soer]

Hi everyone here at FPN,

 

I hardly see any reviews from Marlen fountain pen, what ever happened to the company, do the still make pens.

 

 

greetings

Yeah they should still be producing pens as far as I know.

Yes, they are still in business and appear to being doing well. They produce some beautiful pens.

 

Of course they are very strong in Italy, but not so much in North America. I think only a few stores keep them in stock here. Marlen's website is a little klunky, which probably hurts a bit in todays market place.

 

There is a store in Italy, Giardino Italiano that has a substantial inventory, excellent website & blog; where they often post reviews of Marlen and other Italian pens. Their url is http://www.giardino.it/index.php. I ordered a Marlen pen from them a few years back, that I couldn't find any where else and received excellent service.

 

All the best, Grayling

Pengallery.com still carries them. I think they may have suffered from a problematic distributor tho' it's hearsay.

 

Love their BB nibs on pens like the Journal.

Most of the Marlen pens are quite heavily decorated; whereas, most FPN members seem to prefer simpler designs.
