Any road up. In my reading on the subject, vast though it is and shallow has been this dive, is it reasonable to conclude that the most common vintage pens are likely to be:
1. Parker
2. Sheaffer
3. Pelikan
4. Montblanc
5. Esterbrook
Common meaning there's tons of 'em about.
In modern pens:
1. Pelikan (still, but waaay out of budget)
2. Pilot
3. Platinum
4. Sailor
5. Parker (still)
6. Montblanc (again waaay out of budget)
Obviously there are tons of different makes and models, just tryna winnow it down to fruitful candidate areas rather than chasing stuff that is not easy to find. May be a stupid way of approaching it, all I got for now.
