    Just going by the clip it looks like it could be a Yard O Led.

    Not a FP sighting but rather a nice example of product placement. From the TV series "Monk", the episode "Mr. Monk visits a farm":

    Peter Rabbit: the younger Mr. MacGregor is writing down his birdwatching observations after returning to the city using a FP... ("Pigeon, Pigeon, Pigeon, ..."). I didn't get a screenshot or pen ID though

    Another non-FP sighting but rather a nice example of cursive used in a movie. From the Perry Mason 1930's film series, "The case of the Howling Dog", this telegram message is written with a broad pencil.

    From the 1936 "Smart Blonde" movie, there is a nice desk set in the lower right side of the frame.

    On the subject of James Bond...I have read that Conrad O'Brien-ffrench is the real life Bond that Fleming used in his books. A very interesting man to say the least.
    0.5mm vs 0.7mm graphite sizes is much like 9mm vs 45acp...they both work if you know what you are doing. - me

    Looking for Caran d'Ache Type 55 2mm set and Rotation .7 pencils.

    From Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Pen appears to flex a little in the signature which I could not grab quickly enough. ID?

    During the episode "Derelict" of the original "Lost in Space" series (1965) Prof. John Robinson uses a pen from a desk set to write in his diary. In the video there is a glint from the nib that makes me believe it is a FP and not a BP. However, when the page is depicted the writing appears to have been made in pencil.

    José Ferrer and Van Johnson appear in this courtroom scene of the 1954 film "The Caine Mutiny". In front of them is what appears to be a Morriset Model B inkwell and fountain pen.

    Caine1.jpg

    Earlier in the movie there is this shot of a hand written note. As you can see there is an interesting difference in the letter "t" when it appears at the beginning of a word ("told", "thousand", "times") or at the end of a word ("but", "what"). But then again the "t" is different at the end of "shouldn't")

    During the 2016 movie "Captain America: Civil War" the good Captain sits at a desk with an Esterbrook 444 dipless set and a bottle of Lamy black ink in front of him. If you look really close you can also identify a Lamy Safari or Al-Star FP (look at the telltale ink window).

    The film also portrays a Soviet soldier as a "ham fisted barbarian" writing with a Bic:

    Michael Caine delivers a splendid performance as a devoutly Catholic French Nazi collaborator in the 2003 film "The Statement". In this scene he uses a FP (looks like a Waterman) to write a farewell letter to his wife... Afterwards he kicks the dog.

    The obvious answer would be a Parker 51,from what looks to be a clutch ring matching the cap.



    John
    The pen body does look like a Parker 51, but I have not previously seen a P51 with a cap and clip like that.
    When the pen is lying on its side on the notebook it looks pretty obviously like a P51. When he picks it up it looks different. I would still say it is a 51.
    Maybe a Parker 45? I thought the clip looked Parker-like, in any event. However, I am not a fountain pen expert, and do not play one on TV.
