Enzo Ferrari pen

[klemenv]

I have just returned from trip to Maranello. At Galleria Ferrari (a Ferrari museum) next to the factory there is Enzo Ferrari writing desk displayed. I have taken a look, and there was Parker Duofold "True Blue" laying on the desk.

Looks like Enzo was using Parker Duofold.

Than we went to local producer of Aceto Balsamico (a vinegar that is closer to spice than to vinegar). There was picture of Ferrari displayed with personal thanks of Enzo. Enzo was using dark purple ink. Similar to R&K Scabiosa ink.

 

Sorry for bad pictures, photo was taken through protecting glass.

I always imagined Il Commendatore writing with a Rosso Corsa ink ; )

Great find!

Unfortunatly not. We had a beer at Cavalino Bar.

 

Can anybody identify the pen. Is it Duofold, or it is Filcao Leader or something else? (If it is Filcao, Giovanni will be celebrating.)

Not a FILCAO... not a Duofold, either. Probably one of many Duofold-inspired italian pens. Could be a Columbus, for instance.
