Hi there,

 

 

A few unusual British pens. I owned several Mentmores, but sold them all because I found their button filling system a bit picky. But yours looks to be a lever filler? I can't see it in the picture, but I am assuming it would be.

 

I look forward to seeing what else you post!

Writing samples would be good to see.

Beautiful pens! I love the one from Mentmore!

Thanks every one for the replies.

 

Gobblecup, the Mentmore is an eyedrop filler, which is rather unusual as most of them were button fillers as you have mentioned.

 

Ihtzazqamar, unfortunately I haven't used any of these pens so I can't put up any writing samples.

 

Thanks Caligrafo for your appreciation.

I don't know much about Truepoint fountain pens. Any info on this pen will be appreciated. Thanks.
