Hi everyone,



more than 10 years ago I was given this pen:



as a present by a dear friend who has sadly since passed away. I only know that she was in the stationery retail business, and remember that when she gave me the pen I got a definite vibe (you probably know that feeling yourselves) that she would actually rather have liked to have kept it for herself.

The pen lay pretty much unused in a drawer - it came in a set with a matching ball point - until my interest in fountain pens was somehow reignited recently.

When I read about LeBoeuf I see that they shut up shop early in the last century. So what exactly are we looking at here?

Here are some other views showing the obviously modern internals:





Interested in hearing your opinions

LeBouef filed for bankruptcy in 1933. It was purchased and became the LeBoeuf-Pilgrim Pen Co.


The name LeBouef has been floating around for decades and there was a modern revival company with pens made possibly in Germany. The modern pens have some connection to Elysee and/or Reform.

The pen you show is a modern revival and bears no connection to the LeBoeufs of the 1920's and 30's.
