A Pierre Cardin Masterpiece fountain pen. Its a Montblanc-esque clone.

 

Pretty well made, and cost around INR 300 (USD 6) shipped.

 

It would be a good idea also to provide some (unaffiliated) sources in this topic where members can procure the pens.

 

I bought mine from Hindglobal.in, but they have now priced it at INR 400. Also available on Flipkart for INR 500. I'm sure Flipkart does not ship outside India, but not sure about Hindglobal.

Hi,

 

I got the same pen last week (have been using a Parker Vector for a few years now, wanted something that looks more classy for work). However it writes in very broad strokes and puts out a lot of ink on the paper, leading to smudges when I close my notebook.

 

Is there anyway to solve this - either by tweaking the nib or using more dense ink?

I don't know where else to post this, so here goes.

I bought & received 4 of these in the mail today. They were in the original package, the only hint of the origin being the "Made in India" label on the package.

I could not make out any details on the pens, so of course I had to buy them the price being ca. 1 USD each.

The ONLY markings on the pens themselves is on the nib, "Iridium Point Germany".

Do they look familiar to anyone, they're very classy looking pens B)

 

I forgot to add that they're plastic, the gold bits are metal, and they take a universal cartridge.

That looks like a Pierre Cardin pen to me. Look here.

 

I'm using my Deccan Author today, alternated with my new Advocate junior, my Gama Jumbo demonstrator, and my Kim Student (black) for taking notes on a video lecture with lots of equations to scribble down. That Advocate junior really reminds me of a Waterman!

That is exactly what they look like! However, the Pierre Cardin is said to be made of metal whereas mine is plastic.

The clip, etc looks the same. Might be the same maker, Flair Writing Instruments.

I have a Pierre Cardin ballpoint. Nice pen.

I'll keep digging, thanks for the tip.

Ask Asapens; they might know. Interesting that yours looks the same but is not...

A new model called the "Ergo". Long section and reasonable nib size yielding perfect writing comfort for long sessions. I will post a detailed review when i get the time.

But,is where can I get that hooded ib for that old FP in Kolkata ?

Cos I already searched many stores in Kolkata but it seems like to me that FP become almost obsolete in Kolkata.

Luckily I bought a Artex 1120 from Garia,Kolkata.

But,my dams naughty cosine damage the nib too.

So,I need two nibs at the moment.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      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
