Hmmmm... I believe this is the same one mentioned in post 408:

...said the die hard sci fi fan while holstering his fully loaded Pelikan blaster.

Yup, that's it. (How did I miss the other post?)

Did anyone see Sherlock Holmes last night on PBS? There was a closeup of Watson writing with a black fountain pen with a gold band. The episode supposedly takes place in 1889 and to my very untrained eye the pen looked like something from the 1910 era at least.

Does anyone know what fountain pen is shown in Episode 1 of the Doctor Who episode titled, The Deadly Assassin? This is a Tom Baker episode.

During a recent BBC interview, Afghan president Karzai uses a Pelikan Souveran to sign some papers. M800 perhaps?

 

m1000 I would say

Having just rewatched The West Wing there is an episode where the previous president writes a letter to Josiah Bartlett with a fountain pen, but I was not able to identify it. Cant remember the episode either, I believe its in season 5 or 6.

Latest episode of Sleepy Hollow ... pen was a prominently featured plot device. Anyone got a close look?

Oh yes, at the last scenes, but I'm not such an expert to identify it.

The Expendables 2 - Sly Stallone and his skull bedecked fountain pen in the bar scene.

Saw Robert Redford writing with a fountain pen that might have been a Parker Duofold in This Property is Condemned. The story takes place in 1930.

Seems like Robert has a thing for fountain pens... He gave a gold lever fill FP to Meryl Streep in "Out of Africa":

In another scene from "Out of Africa" a banker is seen using a FP while offering Meryl Streep a loan at a scandalous 3% interest:

Did anyone see Horizon last week? Professor Alice Roberts (no relation) was seen writing with a Lamy Safari (model 17 Charcoal). Sorry, no still to show (yet).

Hi, Does one know what movie that had a character say "Who uses a fountain to write nowadays, with the current technology?"

 

Just can't get the question out of my head.

 

By the way, what pen did the President use in White House Down? Pelikan?

 

Was it a VP Raden in Transporter 3?

 

Cheers.

Watching "Rescue Dawn" with Chritian Bale last night -- Laotion interrogator was using a screw cap, flat top fountain pen -- no clue as to maker

Around 7 minutes into this Jeeves and Wooster episode, we get some lovely shots of a fountain pen in action--beautiful ink across an unlined, loose-leaf page.

Fountain pens are in a lot of Korean dramas if you look closely. More recently, I think I saw one in Hotel King. There was a rich guy who came from China to sign a deal and he used a fountain pen.

 

On page 4 someone mentions a k-pop video that uses a fountain pen. The video they posted is deleted, but I think that person was talking about "Fiction" by B2ST. Here's the link, you can see fountain pen usage at 4:41

On page 7 someone mentioned fountain pen usage in the Korean drama Ojakgyo Brothers (weekend drama?)

 

Kim Soohyun's character in You Who Came from the Stars used a fountain pen.

 

This is more of a summary of everything I've seen. I don't watch Korean dramas that much anymore. I'm sure you can find a lot more if you look. If I see I will tell you. Korean dramas are filled with rich people that either a. fall in love with a person who is poor or b. are the most horrible antagonists on Earth.

What surprises me here is the wrong ugly way to hold a fountain pen: with the middle finger in the section.
