What a wonderful resource! Thank you for this, Wim, and everyone else that participated.

 

And now to add links to information about all of these manufacturers, and photos, and .... lol - a project for the long winter hours, in your "spare" time, Wim!

I have just purchased an English pen (a BHR job) that rejoices in the name "Empress"

This is a wonderful resource, thank you. Now I know that the Merle Blanc pen I thought was French is in fact Belgian...

 

Anyway, two things.

 

First, please add Taskovski to the Australia list. I did a review on FPN of one of their models last year and the company has a website.

 

Second, a nit-picking proof-reading point: you spell Sheaffer differently for its Australian and Canadian (and Hawaiian) listings (where it is written as ShAEffer).

I thought Xezo is an Swiss/German brand name, but is listed here under China. Could anyone confirm this?

 

As far as I am aware, it is a USA brand, and the pens are made in China. I am not entirely sure, however, which is why it is currently listed under China.

 

Warm regards, Wim

Please add Eagle pens for Pakistan. Eagle is among the oldest pen brands in Pakistan. I have recently collected a few vintage Eagle pens from the 50s/60s. It is perhaps the only Pakistani pen with the "made in Pakistan" inscribed even on the nibs.

I thought R. Pirre Paul was Taiwanese not Chinese. I also bought a blisterpak pen in Beijing this past year that was made by a Lotus company.

I have a couple of pens that might be added. The first is Rowi a German company which today manufactures metal watch bands. I wrote to them and they replied that they made them around 1977 but didn't say how many were made or how long they were made. It is a well machined gold alloy pen with a nice Bock nib.

 

The other pen is an RCW pen I bought in France. It is an aluminum (I think) pen and pencil set and writes nicely. On the pen and pencil is etched, "RCW Paris Germany". In the presentation box on the blue lining is RCW Paris, Fr ance".

 

Looking for a black SJ Transitional Esterbrook Pen. (It's smaller than an sj)

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
