Thanks @Fermata :)

Did you say that was called "London". (I've got a memory like an oyster.) lol But it sure looks like a Penol (https://penol.weebly.com/penols.html).

The pen had no makers name, stamped on the barrel was the word LONDON followed by a 4 digit number (I forget the number). The quality was of the highest order, better than Parker. I looked and looked for information but found a US pen dealer who had one for sale and he advised that the pen had been made by a Danish maker specifically for a Copenhagen retailer, possibly a department store.

Well in my eyes it is certainly an unusually beautiful pen. Not to mention that pen box which is to die for. :)

Nothing on the nib?

In their book 'Montblanc in Denmark 1914-1992', Claus Holten and Poul Lund mention Danish competitors. One of these is the Miller Pen Co. which among others used the brand name 'London'. In the book there is a picture of a London pen very similar to the one shown by Fermata. I'm living i Denmark and have seen several pens branded London, but never as good looking as this one.

That is interesting, thank you. I think you have hit the nail on the head.

Miller was established in 1908 and appear to have a number of Parker inspired models, the link shows some better than original models.

I have heard that the original pen had a poor quality chrome clip, although mine was gold but I cannot vouch for whatever changes might have happened over 70 years.

Thanks for the tip-off Nethermark, appreciated.
