    The writing is legible but our president does not join all adjacent letters. Does this say anything about his character?

    This seemed maddeningly familiar till I realized I was thinking of an Esterbrook 3xxx series 'sunburst' nib. Which is no help at all.

    I know the feeling. I have seen this type of bicolor nib before but I really can't remember where...

    Also possible I was thinking of a Waterman Phileas. But still wrong.

    In the 2016 film "The Chosen" a young woman that works as one of Trotsky's secretaries writes a letter to her lover, who is no other than Ramon Mercader, a Stalinist agent sent to infiltrate the Russian exile's inner circle. The fountain pen has a rather "Conklinesque" look to it don't you think?

    Looks like it. If you see her writing you can see she likes a really fine line....

    From the 1992 movie "White Sands" with Willem Dafoe and the lovely Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. A group of people sign checks using a Pelikan M800 pen with a nib that shows nice line variation. At first I couldn't tell if it was an M800 or a M1000 until I realized the latter pen was first issued in 1997. So its an early M800 with a 14c nib or an early 18c.

    Here is the late Robert Hardy playing Siegfried Farnon in early '50s and holding a rather nice-looking but unidentifiable pen. The image was captured from a low-resolution streamed video, but if someone has a DVD of season 6, episode 6, perhaps it will be sharp enough to see what it is.

    Mabie Todd by the length of the pen, perhaps SM1/58.

    Don't know which pen it is but BBC has just started a rerun of all of the original series of "All Creatures Great and Small" on BBC4 just in case you are able to watch it....

    And then Christopher Timothy as James Herriot in season 6, episode 10, where an old fountain pen was discovered where a dog had hidden it.

    I watched an older movie called “Audrey Rose” a few nights ago, maybe from the 1980s? At the very end, the woman who plays the mother is writing a letter to the Anthony Hopkins character, with a fountain pen. I also recently saw a Woody Allen film called “Interiors,” one of his serious films, actually a very good movie, and the end scene is one of the sisters writing in her journal with what looks like a fountain pen.

    Still in my search to identify this pen with the curious bi color nib (see post #517 above):

    I found a similar nib in the Ruettinger site but it is not the same:

    An unexpected fountain pen sighting in season 2 of The Expanse, set c. 2350.

    The Expanse is an excellent science fiction series. In another shot you can see that in the future some people will still write in cursive.

    I'm enjoying it. One benefit of being late to the party is I have five seasons to binge.

    (Yeah, that character wrote a letter in cursive but there wasn't a clear view of the pen.)

    To simplify it, those who believe in this stuff say that people who connect their letters are logical thinkers, who use facts and experience. Those who don’t (like me) are intuitive and imaginative, act on impulse and instinct. It goes a little deeper than that, like there is a difference between people who don’t connect any of their letters, and those who might connect groups of letter, while leaving others unconnected.

    She probably likes very fine lettering.
