On offer is a beautiful fountain pen in black lacquer and metal made by Pentel for the Orient Express Company in the early to mid-1980s. This pen can also be adapted to be used as a rollerball pen (no refill is provided). The fountain pen sports a custom made steel nib and uses a cartridge/converter (included) ink system. The Orient Express is probably the best-known train service in the world and object of many literary and cinematographic works, originally linking Paris to Istambul. This pen may be dated to the 1980s as at that time the holder of the Orient Express trademark was the French railway system, SNCF. In 1986 these rights were purchased by the Accor Hospitality Group. -- ooo -- All items will be carefully packaged and shipped via Registered Mail with tracking information.
