Otherwise, though, how sad. As a historian, it makes my blood boil. It also kinda makes my Pelikan feel dirty (not that I ever soiled MY Pelikan with such a deed!).Eliza Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627605324381190861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162505706073664121.post-39907224616459387162011-01-25T13:51:50.312-05:002011-01-25T13:51:50.312-05:00The picture above shows the year he changes, and y...The picture above shows the year he changes, and you can just see how new and fresh the 5 is next to the other three numbers. <br /><br />What pen makers were around then that are still around today? <br /><br />As for pen of choice to forge something, I'd probably try the Pilot Falcon II, good semi-flex nib. :)dianebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13856902356103585311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162505706073664121.post-39322331797059115652011-01-25T13:05:33.990-05:002011-01-25T13:05:33.990-05:00You gotta wonder about the state of scholarship if...You gotta wonder about the state of scholarship if a date change on a document affecting one non-historical person'll turn you into a player. Or, maybe the state of interrogation. Doesn't the psych deny the allegations, claiming he was bullied into confessing? You're right, Diane, what would a forger's pen of choice be?

I expect that someone somewhere might have made a mistake in thinking that a Pelikan fountain pen was used in 1865. The first Pelikan fountain pen was produced in 1929. Prior to that the company basically made ink.Pelikan Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09659525839327874792noreply@blogger.com
