bought: during two years accidentally in two different tobbaco shops (one in slovenia, one in austria),

 

price: quite cheap - 35 EUR (app. 27 USD), or better very cheap for the quality

 

web: almoust nothing about these pens (except one single selling on ebay)

 

writing: M nib - average felling (6 from 10), not to wet, not to smooth

 

filling: cartridge

 

weight: quite heavy (app. 35g) for lenght 12,5 cm, well balanced for my taste (heavy on back)

Those are SWEET!!!

 

Especially love the pic of the cap engravings side by side.

 

Thank you very much!

For some reason those sold a whole lot better in Europe then in the US. Strange.

Probably the whole HD mystique. If you couldn't afford the motorcycle, you could at least buy a decent pen and advertise your fandom that way.

[pilgrim]

honestly, that HD mark is the only part of these pens that disturb me.

How long ago were these pens available in stores?

 

I assume they are no longer in production.

They still pop up on eBay from time to time.

The reason I ask is if it was just a few years ago I might be able to hit a few HD dealerships in the area to check for NOS.

 

Better yet, I have a friend that works at a dealership. If someone wouldn't mind giving me a number, preferably the HD product number, I can get her to do a dealer search. the search is not always accurate since I've had bike parts searched for this way to not find any. Then I go to the nearest dealership and there's the part.

 

I mentioned pens to her shortly after getting in to this pen craze and she said HD used to have a fountain pen available. I told her she was crazy or mistaken since I'd never seen such a beast. I better apologize before asking her to do a search.

the second one I bought in graz (austria) three months ago (january, 07),

 

I discovered it hidden and forgotten somewhere between cigars and zipos. the saleswoman in tobacco shop was surprised, that they have something like that

[georges zaslavsky]

Original pens and nice pens as well. At the salon du deux roues, 2 years ago they were sold like hot cakes.

I have this pen in green. I enquired about it here.

 

Thought it may have been made by Waterman since my other two HD pens were.

The odd (?) thing I noticed about the engraving of the H-D logo on the nib is that it is upside down to the person holding the pen!
