I am hoping someone here has some information about this pen. I got it from a good friend who said he picked it up in London and it wasn't very expensive, and thats all he knows about it. I couldn't find anything on Google or even here on FPN. The only markings anywhere on this pen is "Alibi" stamped on the cap under the clip.

I call it the Killer Projectile because it's freakin' heavy, feels heavier than my Levenger Plumpster, and is shaped like a perfect projectile.

Anyway, I would love to know as much about this pen as possible. Feel free to check my blog post on this pen with more, much higher resolution, pictures.

Also, if you could post pictures of your pens that look like this one that would be very helpful. Thanks!

Intriguing! I got nothin', but I did find where one of these was sold as part of a lot by an eBay seller in the UK.

I came here for the pictures and stayed for the conversation.

Thats awesome! Thank you very much for the info. I've contacted the seller of the listing hoping he can point me in a direction to get some more info.

That is too funnny!

 

I have two of those!

 

One is anodized black with chrome ends and accents. Same clip.

Its says "Star Trek, The Experience, Las Vegas Hilton" and came in a case that looks like a Photon Torpedo. A friend bought it for me. It just says "Iridium Point" on the nib.

 

The second one is all mat aluminum with the black rubber rings and no "jewel" on the clip.

It says MINKA both on the clip and on the nib, which also has "MADE IN GERMANY" on it.

 

Hope that helps.

Photos if needed.

Thanks for the input guys. Glad to know there are more of these floating around, in several different configurations obviously.

If you could take a couple quick shots I'd appreciate it. Thanks Glenn!

I have a pen that looks exactly like that except that it's marked Levenger. They called it Mach 6. My records show that I bought it from Levenger on Dec. 19, 2003 for $22.45. Probably on a close-out sale. It didn't even come with a box.

Do you think you post pictures? That would be very helpful to me.

I have a Levenger Mach 6 that looks almost identical. Funny thing is I was just fooling around with it last week.

 

It's the top one in the photo---the one without the jewel encrustation.

Thanks for the pic! What does it say on the nib? Some Levenger branding I assume?

Todd of ISellPens used to carry these in his "Other Brands"/NoName section. I'll PM to ask if he remembers his source or the manufacturer.

Wow! You guys are amazing!

 

Samthor, I can't wait to hear back from you.

 

Glenn, the Star Trek "edition" looks a little bigger in every aspect than the other one. Interesting.

There isn't any on the nib, just Iridium Tip, Germany; Levenger branding is stamped in black on the cap of the pen parellel to those rings when the pen's capped.

      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
