In another thread at the photography forum, some members mentioned that it would be apreciated to have an own thread for the German brand Matador. Matador is a somewhat unknown brand for some collectors, but there are lots of informations (specially on German board penexchange.de) if you take time for searching. This thread should not content historical facts about Matador as a main topic. The idea of this thread is to show a picture or two of YOUR Matador and share the informations you have about it with us. I only have a few Matadors in my own collection, but I'd like to start with this: It's a Matador Express 815, probably made during the 30's (pre WWII), and is fitted with a huge #6 nib, made in New York. The really special thing about this pen is that the cap top and the mechanics as well are made of the same celluloid as the rest of the pen. I have never seen this before. I also have some others, but need to do better pictures. Please feel free to jump in with your Matadors in the meantime. This will become a fun thread! C.
