Parcival Extremely Rare

10 days ago I saw a pen on ebay. The seller wrote that he has no brand.

I remembered that I've seen this somewhere. :bonk:

Yes - in the book Collectible Fountain Pens by Juan Manuel Clark. :headsmack:

I have consulted and saw that it was a French pen Rally. :eureka:

He had a buy now price of 19.50 euros. I decided to buy it. The seller was very nice :thumbup: and offered free shipping. Today I got a pen. :happyberet:

Rally 10 /marked on body/, button filler, length - 12 cm, France, 1943. This is a great pen.

More information - in this wonderful review: http://www.enter-net.de/auktion/artikel/rally_e.htm

I would not be able to write better. :thumbup:

That is fascinating. It was made during the war, in an occupied country. :puddle: I had wondered if there were any countries other than Germany - and Britain, of course - still making pens while caught up in the war. This is the first example I've personally seen. (Other, more knowledgable members may have known the answer for years. But your post is the first instance I've seen of solid evidence that at least one country, France, had enough material to produce pens even during the war.)

Very nice pen.

I would like to know more about this company, but I could find just some very terse info in a dead website. All I have now are some french ads, published here:

I'd like to know more about this brand, but I could not find more infos.

Here I was hoping for a story about a new Rally with minis and Renault A330s and dust and folk lining the roads and dancing out of the way of rushing cars and ...

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
