Pen Catalogue

In Japan, an association called "Japan Imported Pen Association" exists. What they exactly do, is unknown to me.




But, they bring out a very nice catalogue on imported foreign pens. This seems to be a catalogue which is only available for shops who are selling foreign brands of fountain pens/ball-pens/roller pens/mechanical pencils. And only paying member companies are included, I was told.

The content page of the 2018 catalogue is shown on the left and the full catalogue is accessible here: LINK.

Some years ago, Montblanc also paid to be included, now, they don't do any-more.

As you can see in the linked pages, it is very informative information about available pens of a brand. However, unfortunately, it is not complete. Especially, limited editions are sometimes missing.






I question the PR and sales departments of many pen makers. Why don't they don't put together all their pen information in pdf catalogues?
What be the disadvantage of doing so? Is there any? I doubt.

Pen 1-4 are the yellow-gold vermeil version of it (mechanical pencil, rollerball, ball-pen and fountain pen) and pen 7 is the rose-gold vermeil version of the fountain pen. The rose-gold fountain pen has a rose-gold-plated 18k nib. Pen 6 is the same model in steel, coated in black (Waldmann P2000). But it is not a typical steel, it is  a recycled steel from gun barrels recycled by the German police. It is a limited edition, meanwhile sold out. Read more about it here . Unfortunately, the silver model is meanwhile als...

Waldmann Pen's catalogs 2008-2024

The company Waldmann Pens exists since more than 100 years. Due to destruction of the Waldmann factory including the archives during WWII, all information before this event is lost. After the death of the founder in 1964, the owner changed several times until in 2007, the recent owner, Stefan Schnirch, took over. And only since his start, catalogs of the produced models exist. You can see and download the catalogs from 2008 until 2024 from my Goggle Drive. I got permission from Mr. Schnirch to offer them here. GoogleDrive

"Gemini pens"

 It's play time. I asked Gemini to create some fountain pens. Unfortunately, Gemini still has some problems in creating a fountain pen. I am still working on how to make reliably such a pen with Gemini. The problem could be with my prompts or it could be on the Gemini side. Nevertheless - enjoy!
