Vuarnet Fp ?

September 10, 2014

I've had this Vuarnet pen in my collection for... a while. But I have no idea where or when I got it. It's definitely a lower end pen, but the nib is nice and it writes real smooth.

The only thing I can find on this is that it's French... and really that's all. I don't even think you can get this pen in the States. I used to travel through Europe years ago so maybe I picked it up then.

Does anyone have this brand? Know where to get it? History? Reviews? The Nib says the name and below it says "IRIDIUM POINT".

Thanks

Is that dent in the section a design feature or something else? Do you notice it when you write?

Yes lower end, but I recently saw one just like yours on the Bay that sold for app. US$140

Amazon U.K. have some FP/BP sets of more modern design for £25 - they look rather nice.

Vuarnet is mainly known for their sun glasses (and other accessories it would seem - like FPs ).

Looks to me like they encircle the section, maybe 4 or 5 of them.

Thanks for the info. It's a nice writer for sure.

Yeah... There are five finger indents... The fingers fit right in for a good grip... funny, I never paid much attention to those dents... LOL. But I must say, it's a nice feature and grip.
