Without any confusion it can be said that fountain pens are the embodiment of enrichment of culture and heritage. When man first learnt to write with the purpose of  expressing his own joys and sorrows; hope and frustration; comedy and tragedy in writing, fountain pens were required to serve the purpose. Now one can argue whether there is any necessity of writing when man can speak first and communicate. In reply to this question,  it can be said that written document is much more valuable than verbal oath.  One can deny what he promised earlier but if there is any written evidence in hand one can’t deny any facts and incidents. Therefore considering the importance of writing, man has shown much inclination towards jotting down facts and incidents. For this particular reason, fountain pen has got prominence and first hand importance.

There is no denying the fact during 10th century fountain pens were used by people. At that point of time, it was old fashioned.  Fountain pens were made of bird feathers which were sharpened into perfect size  and later these quill pens were made for writing.  Quill fountain pens were designed with double quills. One smaller quill acted as the reservoir of ink which was inserted into the larger quill.  However, later fountain pens got a number of modifications and refinement.  Writers used to prefer fountain pens because at that time there was no other alternative to quill pen.  In 1884, Waterman invented upgraded version of fountain pens with the provision of self reservoir and pointed nib.  With time proceedings,  the stylographic pens with pointed stainless steel fountain pens earned much popularity.

In the modern millennium, fountain pens are available with the wide range of varieties. Parker, Sheaffer, Aurora, Ipsilon Deluxe fountain pens with black gold plated trim are very much popular among modern generation.
