Hello, my name is Michael. I'm a collector and restorer of fountain pens, primarily vintages ones. Though I do have a fair share of modern pens in my collection. I also sell restored pens.

Parker 75 RMS Queen Elizabeth
In 1972, the former RMS Queen Elizabeth sunk in Hong Kong Harbor and was scrapped. Parker Pen Company bought brass from the scrapped ship to produce a 5000 piece limited run of Parker 75s in 1977. The pen came in a box with a brass plaque, or in a larger wooden chest.

Parker 50 / "Falcon"
The Parker 50 is one of the few "Integrated Nib" fountain pens; the nib and grip/section are all one continuous piece of metal. It was a follow-up to the failed Parker T1. The 50 was produced out of steel, with four color variants. #fountainpen #parker50 #vintagepen

Montblanc Heritage 1912 [2/2]
The knob on the 1912 serves two purposes. First, it extends and retracts the nib. Second, it acts as the knob for the filling mechanism. The 1912 and 1914 do not use cartridges, but have a piston system. Pulling on the knob switches the pen into filling mode.

Montblanc Heritage 1912 [1/2]
Released in 2013, the Heritage 1912 shares safety pen inspiration with the Boheme. The 1912's body design is taken from pens like the old "Rouge et Noir" from Simplo (who rebranded as Montblanc in the 30s). A larger version of the 1912 was created as the Heritage 1914.

Montblanc Boheme Bleu [2/2]
The nib is extended and retracted by turning a small knob on the back of the pen. This knob is also a small door that allows for replacing the cartridge. Due to the small size, the Boheme features threads on the nib extension knob to allow for screwing on the cap.

The Montblanc Boheme was released in 1999/2000, discontinued around 2015. Inspired by old safety filling fountain pens, it features a retracting nib. Unlike safety fillers, the pen uses short standard international ink cartridges.
