Le Stylo Rally

Recommended Posts

10 days ago I saw a pen on ebay. The seller wrote that he has no brand.

I remembered that I've seen this somewhere. :bonk:

Yes - in the book Collectible Fountain Pens by Juan Manuel Clark. :headsmack:

I have consulted and saw that it was a French pen Rally. :eureka:

He had a buy now price of 19.50 euros. I decided to buy it. The seller was very nice :thumbup: and offered free shipping. Today I got a pen. :happyberet:

Rally 10 /marked on body/, button filler, length - 12 cm, France, 1943. This is a great pen.

More information - in this wonderful review: http://www.enter-net.de/auktion/artikel/rally_e.htm

I would not be able to write better. :thumbup:

That is fascinating. It was made during the war, in an occupied country. :puddle: I had wondered if there were any countries other than Germany - and Britain, of course - still making pens while caught up in the war. This is the first example I've personally seen. (Other, more knowledgable members may have known the answer for years. But your post is the first instance I've seen of solid evidence that at least one country, France, had enough material to produce pens even during the war.)

Very nice pen.

I would like to know more about this company, but I could find just some very terse info in a dead website. All I have now are some french ads, published here:

I'd like to know more about this brand, but I could not find more infos.

Here I was hoping for a story about a new Rally with minis and Renault A330s and dust and folk lining the roads and dancing out of the way of rushing cars and ...

      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
