Pen Shops in Vienna, Austria

[RMehta248]

I am visiting Vienna, Austria Sept 14th to 18th. Does anyone know any good pen shops in Vienna, Austria? I already have the two from Glen Marcus' site. I would be most most grateful for inputs. Thanks, Rajesh

I asked the same question in July and got some help from Bill. See this thread.

 

If you are interested in vintage pens, Weiner Füllfeder Werkstätte is a must. I spent some time talking to the owner's son and it was probably the most enjoyable experience I have ever had in a pen shop. I still wish I had bought the glass-nibbed safety that he left me try...

 

Enjoy the visit.

Some more to recommend:

I wouldn't go to Mayr&Fessler, it's a tourist trap.

 

Hope you have fun in Vienna,

A beautiful shop, lots of Ephemera NOT for sale ofcourse , B U T

Ridiculous prices, absolutely arrogant, proud seller ( the son! ...the father is no longer there ). Has a great talent for making you feel uncomfortable!

More worried that you will steal a pen than buy it!..phew!..needless to say loves looking at his watch when you are choosing....hmmm...

What is worse , this guy is such a fibber / liar....own imprints on pens trying to pass them off as a Hardmuth !..., talking 80% rubbish. I think he things

people visiting his shops are absolutely pen novices! I think he truly believes in loosing business...sad experience, but I had heard this from more than one person!

Avoid, wasting your time if you havent got hundreds of Euro to spare on lesser brands.

Whenever I am in Vienna I pay a visit to MAYR & FESSLER and treat myself with a pen. I am a collector and I travel around the world - so I compare prices everywhere I go. I can thruthfully say that this company has very fair prices and a great selection which is why I keep coming back here !

They carry all the major brands and also some rather rare brands.

If you visit you will come across some "old friends" !
This is a fabulous pen store !!!
