Inglorious Bastards

[Tsujigiri]

So did anyone get a good look at Hammersmark's pen?

The fountain pen was a button filler which means it could have been a PENOL (Pen Olson) or a Parker. However, I don't think German soldiers would have been writing with a Parker at that time, or would they?

 

I would love to hear what others think.

Montblanc manufactured button-fillers before the War.

There's a reasonable chance that if the pen were purchased pre-war, he would keep using it, regardless of country of origin. The less politically minded would simply follow practicality ("There's plenty of good use left in that pen") while the more political could easily justify it ("Who cares where it's from? We'll be taking over there presently").

Anyone come to figure out what the pen was?

[georges zaslavsky]

An Osmia or an early made Soennecken or a danish MB from the early thirties which were regrouping a lot of button fillers.

I was wondering throughout the whole movie what type of pen it was. I couldn't wait for a topic like this to appear on the FPN...

The bottle was immediately recognizable. It was a modern Pelikan ink bottle. The movie makers probably did not think that people in the audience would be able to tell. That pen was definitely something pretty cool. I loved the way Hammersmark pulled it out and was filling it in that scene. He was practically setting up a whole desk! Once somebody finds out what that pen was, I will have to get my hands on it.

Yes. I believe that him filling it was the entire point of a using a fountain pen in the movie.

After enhancing a few frames from the DVD the pen is definitely a Parker. This can be seen when the pen is put to paper the letters "ARK" are visible (well after some heavy image enhancement) on the nib. I am not versed enough in Parkers from this period, but knowing it is a Parker, short button filler, no arrow on the clip and a wide silver band on the cap should help narrow the field.

saw this on another site. Seems time period appropriate or at least close. Link to pic included.

I think the pen in the bottle scene was most likely a prop pen, which may not have been a real pen but only a prop.

 

The separate scene of the pen writing on paper was most likely done by some one else, as it is a different camera an lighting setup, at some other time.

 

The thing about making a film is that it is all illusion. Some more than others.

 

BTW, saw the movie this afternoon. I thought it was bad even for Q.T. I am going to one star it on Netflix, if I could only give 0. And yes, I checked Box Office MoJo and the thing has grossed over $120million USD, but people will pay to see chickens fight, so the money means nothing, other than people will pay to see chickens fight.

^^^ Most likely, this is more like the truth than anything else.

 

But if assume of possibility: It would be logical to assume that it should be Pelikan (like as bottle) since he was related to the ruling party. But since it's a pen with a push-button refill system, it must have been a Penol (Pen by Christian Olsen) - it's the only one pen which I know from those times that had a viewing ink window with button-filling system. Although Penol had a yellow viewing ink window.
