    Robby!! But Robby can't hold a pen...can he(it)? Check out his extensive filmography: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1119475/?ref_=nv_sr_1

    And look, now we know Dr. Who's Dalecks are a rip-off!

    This one is from the 1973 spy thriller "Scorpio" with Burt Lancaster and Alain Delon. In this scene a top Soviet spy is subject to surveillance near a Montblanc store in Vienna.

    If you look on top of the Montblanc sign you will see a gold color pen. Maybe a MB 82 or 84?

    In Peter Rabbit, the young Mr. MacGregor is using a fountain pen for birding... In the city.



    I mentioned this awhile ago but I don't think I posted a screenshot. Or maybe I did.

    Finally got to see this movie. The pen is an important prop during the movie as it is presented (Spoiler alert) as a parting gift, a writing instrument, evidence of a crime, hiding place for an evil magic bug and a welcome back gift.

    witch1.jpg

    In the beginning of the movie the pen is object of an interesting conversation between the character played by Vin Diesel (Kaulder) and the character played by Michael Caine (Dolan the 36th):

    Dolan 36: "This is a Waterman 402"
    Kaulder: "I had your name engraved on it"
    Dolan 36: "It's very rare"
    Kaulder: "Probably lowered the value quite a bit"
    Dolan 36: "Not to me"

    In the TV documentary series: "CIA Declassified", episode 4 "The Real Argo", a CIA agent forges identity papers using a fountain pen…

    ... that turns out to be a Manuscript calligraphy set:

    Here is Netflix's new series Traitors, season 1, episode 2 at 18.5 minutes, where an amoral American spy is forging a letter from a murdered US soldier to the latter's British lover. Note the unusual chasing down the entire length of the black hard rubber, including the section, which should be familiar to a collector of British pens.

    We have a BBC TV show called "The Sheriffs are Coming" and on Tuesday I spotted a quick glimpse of this pen.

    Does anyone know what it is? Sorry for the picture quality but it's a grabbed screen shot.

    The knurling is similar and the lever looks correct. The section seems too long and flares in a different way to the Blackbird. I have just compared it with one of mine, and on mine the section steps close to the end.

    and at 21 minutes, there's another pen that the protagonist is using to address an envelope to a suspected spy. This pen will be harder to identify, I bet:

    In the movie "Hollow Man 2" (2006) there is a scene with a FP on a desk that I first thought was a Jinhao:

    HollowmanTwo1.jpg

    However, after the character Colonel Bishop uses it to defend himself, the pen falls to the ground and is revealed to be a Waterman Phileas (note the tell-tale golden "cigar band" at one end).

    HollowmanTwo2.jpg

    After Colonel Bishop uses the pen to attack the invisible Christian Slater ("Hollow Man") the latter screams:

    "A pen? You stabbed me with a goddamn pen?"




    PS. This movie is truly awful... Two thumbs down.

    Watched Mission Impossible (1996) for the third time since I saw it on the big screen and discovered that a mysterious arms dealer had a silver MB146 desk set...

    MIarms.jpg

    ... which seems to be the same set at CIA headquarters:

    Meanwhile a rogue agent is limited to using a Pelikan K200 ballpoint:

    During the 2017 movie Darkest Hour, Gary Oldman (who plays Winston Churchill) uses a fountain pen in various scenes:

    Darkest0.jpg

    Darkest.jpg

    Darkest2.jpg

    It's difficult to identify the pens used but in the last picture the nib appears to have a "750" inscription so I very much doubt it is a period appropriate pen.

    The series Indian Summers is replete with fountain pens. In Season 1, Episode 6 at 11:10, there's one of those pen goofs we love to spot. There's a blue late '40s Parker 51 on a desk...in 1932. But wait! Perhaps, an Indian invented the iconic design and Parker stole it. And then, either the foothills of the Himalaya were saturated with blue 51s, or the same pen managed to cross the town to another house at 52:30.

    The image appears backwards because it is depicted as a reflection in a mirror.
