The Harley Davidson pen, designed by Ines Dugelay, for Stypen, was licenced by Harley Davidson Motorcycles and made in France between 1989 and 1995.
Finished in multi layered lacquered metallic silver with red highlights, the pen is in immaculate condition. The design uses a 'piston' motif for the cap stud, cap ring, and barrel end, all heavily chrome plated. The silver and red colour combination is prominent in Harley Davidson bikes, as shown in the last photograph.
The clip is sprung and can be operated by pressing the top, which has the Harley logo on the front and 'France' on the back. The logo is repeated on the end of the cap stud along with the individual serial number 723648.
The leather pouch is of very high quality and is far from common. There is a small ink spot inside the flap, which is the only sign that the pen has ever been used.
A cartridge/converter filler, the Harley Davidson pen is an extremely well made, superb quality pen. It has a great 'chunky', quite heavy feel, a very tactile item.
