Is Pilot Still Producing Dunhill Pens And/or The Nibs? If Not, Who Makes Dunhills Now?

I have a couple of AD 2000 Dunhills, which IMO are wonderful pens, and was wondering if they are made by Pilot. In the past, Pilot produced the Dunhill Namikis (are they still being produced?) and I was told that they also did other Dunhills. Is this true? Maybe they only make their nibs . . .

Would appreciate your input.

AFAIK, since the late 80's Dunhill has been owned by Richemont SA, which also owns MB and Cartier (among others) . While Pilot might have made the pens for Dunhill previous to its acquisition, my guess is that MB is probably now responsible for producing Dunhill's pens.

 

However, I'd be happy to be proven wrong...

 

EDIT: small corrections to spelling

The AD2000's section, nib, feed and converter(con70) are from Pilot. 100% sure. Dont know who made the rest of the pen...

I have a carbon fibre ad2000 rollerball, and it says it is swiss made. Could it be that Pilot made the nibs and shipped them to Carandache?

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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.
