The BBC gentle crime drama Death in Paradise had a lovely use of fountain pen in the latest episode - a suicide is deemed to be a murder because the victim owned a Montblanc and used a fountain pen in her diary, yet the so-called suicide note was signed with a biro. Sounds pretty conclusive to me.

Ahh...Beat me to it. I think it was a Mont Blanc Meisterstuck Classique Red. Pretty expensive for a student. Especially one taking English as a major.

A nice looking fountain pen from the Korean film "Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War"

It shows up a few times during the movie. The older brother buys it for the younger brother as a gift before he heads off to university (which is interrupted by the start of the Korean War). I don't know what kind of brand this pen is, just looks like a generic pen with a steel/aluminium body.

Nice pen. I liked the fact that she had decent stationery too. Props sourced by a fountain pen user, I reckon.

Was watching Season 4 Episode 2, The Lying Detective, of Sherlock. The daughter of the billionaire, Faith, uses a fountain pen to jot down her father's crimes.

Anyone noticed the fountain pens used in the recent movie Allied? They looked period specific. Would like to know which exact models they were..

Last week I was quite upset during an episode of 'Hitler, the definitive guide' on National Geographic. Hitler wrote with a.....Parker Vector. In an episode covering Churchill's Toyshop, the PM was writing with a Pelikan....

 

Hmmmmm

That one bugged me. I caught it, but the couple of shots we get didn't show enough of the pen to tell what it was.

I've heard Hitler was rather fond of Vectors.

Was it considered that having to use a Biro could trigger suicide in an MB lover?

Ron, very funny, quite probably.

 

Coincidentally, I was watching a film today (off work sick with the deeply unpleasant norovirus), Our Kind of Traitor, a John Le Carre adaptation, when a Sheaffer popped up twice

 

 

 

 

Looks like a 444XG but difficult to tell.

Did anyone identify the pen Trump was using to sign the several Executive Orders today (Jan 24) Closeup of the signing showed what seemed to be a felt tip??? -- Signature stroke seemed too wide for a ballpoint and the upstrokes would rule out a nib

Honestly, if I didn't know better, I would have said (at least from the news clips today) that he was using a pencil. Because that's what it looked like....

"Parker Duofold, iridium nib!"

I know this post is from years ago, but I actually watched that part, but I don't recall Duofolds having Iridium nibs. Was Sherlock referring to the tip?

Samuel Fuller's Underworld U.S.A....

There's a fountain pen in the new Resident Evil movie, although we don't get to see it for long enough to identify it. It seems to be more of a. . . tactical pen.

ITV's Endeavour had a fountain pen feature in their season 4 episode 3. The director of the hospital uses it to write.

Interesting, because that series is set in the early 1960s, and I suspect that anyone "forward thinking" would have switched over to BPs.

Anyone remember if in the old Inspector Morse series Morse used a fountain pen? I'm trying to recall if the character does in Endeavor (I suspect his "guv'ner" did, and the Chief was sufficiently old school that I'm SURE he would have).
