This is my latest Bayard-- a 656, circa 1950s. Thanks again to ebay seller amateur25.

I decided to play up the pen's shade of green by contrasting it with foliage from our garden.

It's inked with Montblanc Red Chalk and the writing sample is written on Clairefontaine. The nib reads P and F with the crossed nibs logo and 18ct as well as 50.

Thanks for looking!

So Nice...... I look forward to see more of you

Thank you! I have more Bayards photographed in this Miscellaneous Brand thread.

Very nice pen!

I would guess it is rather later 1940ies, though :)

Thank you very much! Why late 40s, though, rather than early 50s?

Actually I think I`m wrong! Early 50s is very probably right.

 

The 30s-looking section threw me, as they became more streamlined in the late 40s.

Lacking any factual informations about French period pens, it`s often very difficult to tell.

 

Your Bayard has a distinctly 40s look, which deceived me!

(nice pictures, btw :) )

Thank you again! Who really knows, right? I find it bizarre what little information there is on these beautiful French pens.

Thank you. Great stuff!

The 656 is the Spécial Luxe, Laura.

Thank you for the info. Every little bit helps.

      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
