Sorry, my mistake, Flaro is not from Czech Republic but from Romania and already listed under this reference ! I'm getting old...

 

I wanted to add some pictures but it seems that uploading is not allowed here to me. I don't know why.

Just found this topic and hope nobody minds if I add that Flaro Titan is indeed manufactured in Romania, in the 80's, and indeed resembles the early MB 149 model. I have a couple, both models (one was "the export"one, the other a "domestic"model). The first one had a 14kt nib, inscribed "Romania", "Osmiu" (Romanian for Osmium), and Flaro (the name of the Romanian pen factory at the time). The domestic model is a lesser one, steel nib, chromed accessories, but every inch the same specifications as the export one.

 

Both models here:

ADTOPYUKA is not russian pen manufacture. It's "АВТОРУЧКА"= "automatic pen" in russian

I had found an octogonal safety with consul as trademark (on the barrel and on the gold nib). No idea of the origin. Anyone?

Hi. I've seen Voluma as if it was from the Netherlands. I think it is french. Also, there's an Osmia-Voluma pen, german-french???

A mistery.

Thanks for the brand compilation!

An addition for Austria:

Rusewe which translates to "Rudolf Sellner, Wels" after the founder and the former location.

They started production in 1947 and still produced fountain pens (among other office stuff) in the 1980s. The enterprise still exists (https://www.schoolandoffice.at/) but sadly doesn´t produce fountain pens anymore.

 

I visited them this week because I wanted to know whether one of my pens (not marked Rusewe but very similar to the Rusewe Spezial owned by @Bo Bo Olson, including the beautiful green striped material) was in fact a Rusewe and I was very gracefully received. The pen´s origin was confirmed and I left the premises with two Montblanc ink bottles (Royal Blue and Midnight Blue) I received as a gift.

That is a really useful listing of European pens. Is there also a listing of current European pens? Many of the above have sadly been out of production for a long time.

 

How many European manufacturers are still going? I suspect, not that many beyond the well known big-boys.

I am attempting to identify 2 ST Dupont Roller Ball pens left to me by my father and need your assistance.  The identifying numbers on them is "5AKAP89". I am not a collector and want to sell them but need to find out what they are worth figured this is the right place to find out.
