Henry Kissinger used a Lamy 2000 (or at least he did when he signed something for me).

No. Way.

Neil Gaiman uses a Lamy 2000 for writing his books (there's a thread on this site), and I'm certain I saw both T.W. Adorno and his nemesis, Martin Heidegger, posing with 1960s MBs. I'll have to track those shots down...

I would love to see photos of Adorno and Heidegger using MBs.

Here is Nobel laureate Camilo José Cela using what seems to be a MB 149:

Another Nobel winner, Mario Vargas Llosa, posing with a Meisterstück... I think a 149.

This is Heidegger. OK, I cannot identify the pen - I'm pretty sure it's an MB (in another picture you can see a little white spot on the cap top) from the 1960s (the picture was taken 1966-68).

Not clear what you meant when you wrote, "No. Way." with regard to Kissinger and a Lamy 2000. He autographed a picture for me and that's what was in his hand. I don't remember the date, but it was in the late 1980s-early 1990s.

sorry - I wasn't questioning the info - just surprised.

It is a 34.

[Charles Rice]

Not sure, but I believe Truman Capote used a MB. I know for sure that he did use a fountain pen for his novels.

 

I correct myself - he wrote mostly with a pencil.
