The other day I added this lovely Pioneer fountain pen to my ever growing collection. Now…under most circumstances I don’t pick up any David Kahn (Wearever) pens. Most are just too far gone, or not worth the effort of restoring them; however, this Pioneer is actually very nice. The trim is still bright and shiny, and the faceted barrel has a beautiful celluloid pattern. The nib is marked Supreme 8. It’s nothing fancy, but it does its job. Since there doesn’t seem to be much information, or many pictures of Pioneer pens I present this one for you all to enjoy.

That's a very attractive material (I'm guessing celluloid?) that pen is made out of.

"It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."

Looks a lot like the celluloid used in the "Silver & Black Shell" Wahl Dorics? Really beautiful!

      Thanks for the info (I only used B&W film and learned to process that).   Boy -- the stuff I learn here!  Just continually astounded at the depth and breadth of knowledge in this community! Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
