    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.

    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.

    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.

    https://www.pm-pens.com/category/brand/miller/

    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.
