@freemo Nice results ! Foutain pen ? We call those feather pens, I imagine since they descend from literal feathers used for writing. I wonder why "fountain" ?

@hadriscus
It is a fountain pen. A feather pen is a dip pen, back in the day made from feathers. A fountain pen is like a dip/feather pen except ir stores its ink in the pen in a bladder.

@freemo sorry, I meant in french we call them feather pens !
