Has Anyone Heard Of A Commander Pen - From Denmark?

Recommended Posts

There's a pen up on ebay branded as a "Commander" (not a Commando); supposed to be Danish. It has a very pretty nib and a very Forties design. Has anyone heard of this maker?

According to the list of Brands Wimg has compiled (pinned topic) the Commanders were from the Netherlands.

I do not know where he got the reference.

The only Commander pen I have heard of is the Waldmann Commander

I have two pens marked "Commander"; one looks a bit like a striped Parker Vacumatic and has a 14K "Osmi" (sic) nib. The other is black celluloid, has a button filler and a 14K Degussa nib.

I just bought a Commander fountain pen today. Definately 1930's or 40's at the latest. Looking for more information on pen and company. Nib states "Commander Pen - made in USA

I inherited some old pens pens, from my grandads bookshop, marked Commander. They look very 50s to me. Maybe 40s...Im very new to fountain pens. But I have 50+ of them of different brands and Im trying to identify them all. Dating them and so on. The commanders are all unused with a little belt on from the factory brand an nib quality. The nib says 14 ct 1st quality osmi-ridium. The bookshoop was in Norway, so close to Denmark (or Netherland) as mentioned earlier in the post. I would love to know more if anyone knows more. Or are interested in buying too I guess. I can see if its possible to add photos

      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..

      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
