I just received this Bayard Superstyl 650 from ebay seller Ringsmith999, whom I recommend.

 

The pen is circa 1940s and the photographs just don't do it justice.

The nib is marked 18 ct, size 50 with the crossed nibs and the P and F on either side. Bayard, Fabrication Francaise and stylo sans reproche appear on the pen barrel with 650 at the end.

 

I've used a Henri Cartier-Bresson photograph of the great French painter Pierre Bonnard for the background and the writing sample is a quote of Cartier-Bresson's in Akkerman Passage Blauw on Tomoe River paper.

 

Thanks for looking!

Thanks so much! Bayards come in a variety of beautiful colors and designs. Even black pens, which some might deem pedestrian, are beautiful in the Bayard line.

Thanks so much! They do look like mosaic tiles and I was pleasantly surprised by the shimmer and glimmer of the shades of grey and gold, especially when highlighted by the sunlight.

Thanks so much, D.ick. Much appreciated. I have the LE8 that I want to re-sac before I photograph it and I'm waiting on two more Bayards in the post. :wub:

"No one needs to rotate a pen while using an oblique, in fact, that's against the whole concept of an oblique, which is to give you shading without any special effort."Professor Propas, 24 December 2010

 

"IMHO, the only advantage of the 149 is increased girth if needed, increased gold if wanted and increased prestige if perceived. I have three, but hardly ever use them. After all, they hold the same amount of ink as a 146."FredRydr, 12 March 2015

Thank you, Tim. If it hadn't been for you, I may never have discovered the beauty of a Bayard.

 

I dig it! I enjoy checking out your Bayard finds.

Thank you!

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
