Adlon is situated at the Brandenburger Tor.

Curious as to the US roll out on this one, I contacted the boutique I shop at and this is the information they provided:

 

The US launch is scheduled for December. There will be 2 different versions – the limited edition 1917 and the special edition.

JFK 1917

Fountain Pen: $3,765

Rollerball: $3,385

Ballpoint: $3,255

JFK Special Edition

Fountain Pen: $1,035

Rollerball: $880

Ballpoint: $805

The special edition is navy blue with platinum-plated fittings. The limited edition is very striking, featuring a white lacquered guilloche barrel, navy blue cap, red accents and platinum-plated fittings. Both pieces have nautical elements inspired by his love of sailing. There will also be two sets of cufflinks and special navy blue JFK ink to go with this launch.

Delectable!

'The Yo-Yo maneuver is very difficult to explain. It was first perfected by the well-known Chinese fighter pilot Yo-Yo Noritake. He also found it difficult to explain, being quite devoid of English.

So we left it at that. He showed us the maneuver after a sort. B*****d stole my kill.'

Thanks drgriz. I saw photos recently at a Boutique. I was underwhelmed by the Special Edition, but the Limited Edition was very appealing.

I managed to take photos of them during a MB show in April. It's beautiful and I ordered a EF :)

Ya know, I was expecting more... That looks like a gussied up 144.

 

I will reserve judgement until I see it in person, but for a JFK pen I really was expecting a bit more. I'll have to hold out for the Woodrow Wilson I guess. :P

It looks like a cheap chinese counterfeit. This is just my point of view, and do not mean to be unpolite with anybody. Please forgive me.

Please excuse my poor english, but it is not my mothern language and maybe it is wrong my grammar. Any Suggestions are welcome.

Thanks for the pics, I like what I see so far. Could you tell me the size of the pen please?

 

Edited to add - is it a piston filler?

looks as if the Chinese replica makers had a lot of spare parts left and they decided on a design to use them.

 

no offence.

 

but this is one ugly pen. looks disproportionate, blingy, crooked logo cheap......it is not even steamlined...edges poping from all over the place.

 

anyways....just my personal opinion.

No on a few levels. Not for me that one.

Thank you for sharing your photos.

I like this pen. It's nice to see MB playfully changing the designs of their pens.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
