One of the legion of pens inspired in its design by the Parker "51".
This is a very petite pen, and there's a good deal more flex in
its point than the similarly shaped Parker-- which makes it more fun to
write with, from my point of view.
I bought this pen mainly because I find Brause's dip-pens extremely
good. I had, until I stumbled on this thing, no clue that they
made any fountain pens. Given the look of the thing, the sticker
on it demanding 6.45 Deutchmarks MSRP and the box it came in,
I expect this is a pen of the 1960s, possibly as early as the 1950's,
but that's just a guess (and if you know more than me, please do tell).
As I said, it's very pleasant to write with, although a bit wee
for my hands. The thing I like least about it is that it demands
international short cartridges-- I find this limiting, in terms of ink
choice.
Specifications: Fine point, possibly gold but not
certainly. Cartridge filler. 13.2cm long capped, 14.4 cm
posted.
Condition:
Near mint. As far as I can tell, it came to me unused, and
if I were the kind of collector who can leave a thing in its package
unused in hopes of it gaining in value, that's how it would have
remained. However, its not a pen unless its inked, in my opinion.
Now I know it's actually a good pen.
Repairs: None required.
Location: My collection.
For sale: I'm not inclined to, as it's a very cute little
pen and a maker I have a fondness for.
