Industrial looking fountain pens

[mickthepope]

Hello everyone,

Could you give me some suggestions of pens i might like, I like industrial design, nice heavy pens are my favourite. I love the looks of the rotring 600. are there any other drafting FPs out there?

 

These are not FP's but they are industrial looking; you might like them. They are typically referred to as tactical pens. Rollerballs and ballpoints. just google the descriptions below; should get you started. They all exhibit a ROBUST construction.

What about...

 

Caran d'Ache - Ecridor Retro Ache or Ivanhoe

 

Similar, but a little on the fancy side...

Kinda cool I thought. Love that Rotring 600 by the way

They are nice. I don't think i'm going to find anything i like the look of better than the 600! That will be my first expensive (in my view) pen, might get an MYU after if i really like it. But these pens will be used heavily so maybe no the MYU unless it can suffer a bit of bashing and so on. Thats where i think the 600 would shine (hence its my first choice!)

I know what you mean. I had never even heard of the Parker 25 until I started watching this topic, and now I really want one.

I think I recently saw someone on FPN who had a number of NOS Parker 25s. You might want to do a search...

Thank you. I have had what I now know is a Parker 25 with an italic nib in chrome. I have had the pen for a number of years and wondered what model it was, but I was never curious enough to research it. Your photographs have enlightened me.

I just bought a 25 off eBay for pretty cheap, so I'll be eagerly awaiting that.
