Identify Pope Benedict Xvi's Desk Pen

[ParkersAndPaper]

The attached picture is of then Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger at his desk. He has a pen in hand, but I notice a desk pen and a bottle of ink. Can anyone with more knowledge than I identify the pens?

[Mr.Rene]

No idea but the ink bottle seems to be a Pelikan one..

My ex-monk husband and I used to call him "Joey Rats", and I notice that he doesn't actually have a desk pen in his desk pen. The pen in his hand looks like the desk pen, so perhaps the photographer stuck the other pen in there for local color.

 

I'll bet it's German, whatever it is.

Ah, one is missing. It must be a trinity

the one in the pen holder, stuck in cap up, is a straight model, with straight clip that looks like a 70's style pen.

I does not look German to me, but I may be wrong.

In that period there were several pens made with that design, it could be an Aurora (could be an Auretta, a rather cheap school pen, which was available in red) or one of many other similar made in that period
