Full Version: Skyline Clone : Regent Pen
The Fountain Pen Network > Brand Focus > The Wahl-Eversharp Forum
Have Fun
Got this today in the post you can see the likeness to the Wahl Everharp Skyline

Notice the step in the barrel is more pronounced though not having a Skyline yet I'm not 100% sure

I have no idea about its history except it had a pre-decimalisation price tag attached ~ So what .. at least pre 1960 ?

I have a few questions

The pen is labelled Regent Fine Leak Proof Rs. 3/4

The section unscrews & there is no nipple to attach a sac nor convertor nor cartridge. The threads on the section are about 12mm !/2" long fine threaded ~ I'm thinking this maybe intended as an eye dropper ~ I have now tested with water & then with ink without leaks so far ..... but what do others think?

The nib does not unscrew yet I assume it will as the Regent Nibs featured on the forum do screw out

Judging by the wax on the pen nib it hasn't been used

The pen itself has nothing like the build quality of the Reform or other Wahls I have but I thought it interesting enough to buy it.

The Tines were badly misaligned but I have now improved this & its not too bad .. not perfect but miles better than before. Worthwhile learning exercise for me there.

Opinions ?? Advice ?? Comments ??

Nifty pen! Wonder from your description if its an eye dropper fill. From the photos looks like they even copied the font on the clip. I really like all 16 of my skylines but if you want to swap out one for one let me know!

Very interesting! It is indeed (unashamedly) modeled on the Skyline. First I've heard of that pen brand.
