Thanks, Jar.

 

 

I think I would give a vague answer as well.

Why?

 

It's certainly possible that some of the parts were sourced from the same place, just as both use Bock nibs.

 

Even if all the parts were sourced from the same places the pens themselves could deliver totally different experiences.

Possible, yes. It is also possible that next month I will win the national lottery.

But not likely.

 

Now either someone borrowed a design from someone else, or someone had the pen-production outsourced to the other.

 

If the other guy had borrowed my design I would probably state something of the kind.

If I had borrowed from the other, I would say something vague.

If I had outsourced my production, I would also be vague, same as when I would hav made the pens the other sells now as his own. This especially given the price difference.

 

Well, my Laban is a nice enough pen for the money.

Which is fine. As long as you are happy.

I think it more likely Laban would copy FdV than the other way around. However, it's also possible that both companies drew inspiration from some vintage pen and ended up with a similar result - to me both the FdV Spartacus and Laban Ring Pen look alot like Faber Castell pens, suggesting to me both were inspired by vintage German pens and/or pencils.

It's very likely that both companies sourced parts from the same manufacturer.

Laban Rings

 

I think it's almost certain that cap and endcap were sourced from the same manufacturer.
