brando090,

Nice pen and nice nibs !!
What kind of information you are looking for?
I have many Soennecken and a few safeties, a wonderful pen that never lets you down...
I recently moved the collection so I have to find some papers related to the pen, as soon as I get them I will send them to you.
I am not an expert but I have been writing with Sonnecken Safeties for quite some time
Regards

I have 820, 824 and others not numbered.
They are all very dependable to write with if the cork is in good condition.
As far as my experience goes they could easily be priced between $200.00 and $700.00
As soon as I find the user manual, one thin and delicate page almost transparent folded in four,
I will post it here.
Regards

I was sure I had an instructions page for the Soennecken Safety, it is for a later Piston filler model. I have twenty five Soenneckens from which five are safeties.
In the first A. Lambrou book "Fountain pens, vintage & modern" there are several pages related to the history and models of Soennecken considered by many as one of the best pens ever.
I guess it is not difficult to find it but I do not know... If it becomes hard on e bay or through Amazon I will scan those pages for you and send them as a pdf
let me know...
Regards

By the way there is a very nice red Soennecken 222 or something like that (a later model from the fifties) on e bay... it is not expensive and it seems in very good conditions, you should at least look at it.
It comes from Denmark

Thank you very much,

Id be more than appreciative you have some PDF's of Soennecken so i could get as much info on this pen as i can. That pen of da' bay is pretty nice, but i dont care for Soennecken's, though they are nice pens, just not something im looking into at this time. Have you ever seen a NOS Soennecken for sale?

Not recently but I have seen NOS Safeties at gopens as well as in penboard.de

I scanned the Soennecken text from Lambrou's first book, it is a 6M pdf which e mail should I use to send it to you
I would not know how to post it here.

I had a guy interested in doing a trade with these, and he recently talked to a European friend who was also unable to identify these, as i also was unable to do looking at these Soennecken's. Is it possible that these are uncatalogued pens?
