What's the Plural of "King of Pens"?

[whichwatch]

Is it "Kings of Pens"? Or "King of Pens's"? Or maybe "Kings of Pens's"? Whatever the right term is, here are three from which you can choose.


Left:SOLDKing of Pens in the harder to find silver colored trim. 1911 model King of Pens features a 21K gold nib in Medium. The pen is in Excellent pre-owned condition and will be supplied in a standard Sailor box although not the original box for this pen. Official US retail price is $925 and US dealers sell them at $740 if you can find one in stock. SOLD

Center: SOLD King of Pens nib unit consisting of nib, feed, and section. The nib is a 21K gold Medium. This assembly will screw into any Sailor 1911 or ProGear King of Pens. Sailor does not sell nibs or nib assemblies on a stand-alone basis and this is indeed a rare offering. SOLD

Right: King of Pens Ocean which was originally available only through US retailers. ProGear model features a 21K gold nib in Broad. The pen is in Excellent pre-owned condition with its original box and papers. Official US retail price was $1020 and US dealers sold them at $816 but I believe sold out quite some time ago. Better price here! $745 incudes shipping within US. Shipment outside US available at cost - please inquire.

Use the Japanese nomenclature of King Profit (which somehow sounds both better and worse) and you can say King Profits.

King of Penses?

[Empty_of_Clouds]

There is some confusion over whether the model is called King of Pen or King of Pens. The former is the one that I thought correct, even though to an English speaker it looks wrong. Either way it could be treated the same way as some English words where the pluralisation is added to the first part and not the end. For example, passer-by and passers-by. Thus the plural could be Kings of Pen or Kings of Pens. Just a thought.

The box and documentation say "King of Pen"

In standard English, we see that the noun is "King", followed by a modifier (e.g. "of Pen" or "of Pens", then it's the noun that would take the plural (i.e. "Kings of Pen" or "Kings of Pens").

BUT ... when it's a title (a proper noun), all bets are off.

I believe one should say "I have three King of Pen pens".

Notice they are all still wearing spurs as well.

How about “King of Pens” thrice?
