"I decided to
contribute a little for the Moleskinerie Gallery with a picture of two of
my Moleskines… It’s not much, I’m not very gifted in the art of drawing but
it’s my life that’s there.
By the way, I’ll
send Moleskine’s #9 scan as soon as I ship it to the next person…
Thanks and cheers as
usual…

Pen experts, kindly help Ricardo identify this mystery pen:
"I was digging through some of my father’s old
stuff when I found an odd and old looking case, when I opened the case it
revealed an old silver pen. My father says it belonged to his uncle but before
that he’s not sure. I guess by the look of the pen it look that it has at least
70 years, but I’m sending to a specialized shop to be clean and maybe dated.
Meanwhile if you could help me gathering some info of showing the pen photos to
someone I would be very thankful."

Ricardo’s post makes me definitely want to seek out silver dip pens from the late 19th-century… Or even seek out good dip pens from the current century. But…where shall I begin searching?
