I am bored but curious,what type of fountain pen does James Bond use in the movies?

 

I think Judy Dench had a Parker Vector maybe on her desk in Skyfall.

 

Cheers,

She did - but it was the Rollerball, unfortunately!

 

I think a Parker Duofold or Premier would suit him well. Unfortunately, Parker would probably rather he used one of their new 5th Technology range rather than a fountain pen. If you look on their web site it is all they seem to promote.

 

I will continue to enjoy my small collection of 45s!

The kind that shoots bullets.

My other pen is a Montblanc.

I found a post elsewhere and it said the character is a Parker Jotter pen user. Perhaps he is beyond vanishing ink opting to use a coded ink which contains a coded dna strand of data which is the molecular key to unlocking the MI6 mainframe or some such thing.

He did use a Parker Jotter that doubled up as a gadget, I think it was in the first Pierce Brosnan film from 1995.

I'd imagine he'd use an ink like Noodler's Blue Ghost, only that it doubles as poison; the nib of his pen which is loaded with said ink would be rocket-propelled for those stealth kills. The pen would be a cartridge-converter pen; the converter can be disassembled: the piston can be used as a tension wrench, with the feed capable of being disassembled to be used as a set of lock picks. The barrel would contain some performance enhancing drugs, which can be decanted into the blind cap for precise doses.

Bond used a Parker Jotter as a grenade in Goldeneye. There was a reference to it in Skyfall.

 

In terms of modern bond , as a quintessential Englishman, along with his Saville Row Suits, Aston Martin car it would have to be a Dunhill or Conway Stewar pen.

i think the perfect James Bond pen would be a MB Boheme. Every time I operate that retractable nib I hear the 007 theme music. Thanks, Q.

 

Nah, he doesn't want to fire Mont Blanks (sorry, the Horned One made me say that).

There is no doubt that Bond in the books would use a British pen; made in UK at least, and a genuine British brand at best.

 

Film bond would use whatever brand paid the most product placement cash to the producers; he drove BMWs for a while, you may remember. Unless they couldn't get any product placement money from anyone, in which case they would probably remember to find something British.

He definitely used a 149 in never say never again, but I think in future he should support his country by using a Conway Stewart. Instead of it shooting bullets, exploding or turning into a six seater helicopter or flying car on twisting the cap backwards with the left hand, it should be used for something radical like signing off an expense sheet or a casino winning slip so people at least get a proper glimpse of it.

 

Can't quite imagine seeing him with a bic biro...

Sheaffer Snorkel, shooting acidic ink that eats everything it comes in contact with. So BSB, I reckon.

I thought Scaramanga used a Dunhill....

One that shoots bullets or sprays poisonous gas.

Except of course the Bay State series inks are alkaline.

Not, of course, that BSB will probably ever get put into my Snorkel....

      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
