I recently acquired this ST Dupont. Thing is I'm not sure what type or age it is. The nib is 18K - but I'm not sure whetehr it will take Parker or International standard cartridges. Thank you.

Thank you. I thought it was an Orpheo/Olympia.

 

have made the cartridge mistake before and it got very messy.

Sorry but I fear that is NOT an ST Dupont fountain pen. I certainly hope I am wrong but pretty sure it is a fake. The nib and section are wrong for an Olympio/Orpheo and the Fidelio only had 14 k nibs.

Is the nib magnetic? If so it's definitely fake.

 

I recently bought a Dupont on eBay that ended up being my first counterfeit pen. Fortunately the seller refunded the money but it was still annoying/traumatizing. I was too naive and assumed counterfeit MBs were the only ones I had to worry about. The eBay seller I bought from even had a good review history, and the pen included an original warranty card from a well-known vendor (who confirmed that the reference # on the warranty card didn't match the pen). The ebay seller has a few other Dupont listings which I'm highly suspect of and I'm waiting to see if he re-lists the pen I purchased.

 

I'm now paranoid about buying second hand Duponts from unknown sellers since these pens are easier to counterfeit than piston filled pens.

Actually, today it is as easy and cheap to counterfeit piston fillers as any other type pen.

      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
