今日は家で使ってるポルタ持ってきた 表紙がリングで閉じてあるのでリングの開け閉めがとてもしにくいけど可愛いから許しちゃう 左側のページ、8ミリ罫に惹かれて買ったアシュフォードのリフィル、紙が青白すぎるのだけど内側の角落としてあるのと穴に切れ込み入ってるのがこの手帳と合いすぎる 本日の万年筆はカヴェコアートスポーツテラゾにカートリッジグリーン

From America, Nov 1989: Duofold Fountain Pen ad from Parker «With what pen did Sir Arthur Conan Doyle write “The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes”?»
An advertisement for the Parker Duofold fountain pen, which Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is described as choosing. The ad refers to the book "The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes" and makes reference to a famous Sherlock Holmes quote, and describes the Duofold as being tipped with ruthenium, polished with walnut shells, and state of the art. It mentions that they have fountain pens ranging in price from $25 to $2,750.

With what pen did Sir Arthur Conan Doyle write “The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes”?

It isn't much of a mystery.
Sifting through the evidence, one can deduce Sir Arthur Conan Doyle chose an original Parker Duofold. Introduced in 1921, the Parker Duofold (“Writing the Pressureless Way”) quickly became by far the most popu-lar pen of its time.
"Never mind," said Holmes, laughing; "it is my business to know things. Perhaps I have trained myself to see what others overlook. If not, why should you come to consult me?" A Case of Identity"
So impressed was the author of Sherlock Holmes that during the time he wrote the famous detective's last adventures, he also found time to write to us.
"I have at last met my affinity in pens," he wrote to Lord Molesworth, a member of the Parker Pen Board of Directors.
"Your No. 7 broad (nib) is what I have needed all my life" (Exhibit A).
We can but wonder what the inquisitive mind of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would have made of today's Duofold pictured below.
He would, of course, recognize many of the hand-crafted parts found in the original design. Each Parker nib is still cut and pressed from 18 karat gold (Exhibit B) and split from tip to heart by hand, using a blade no thicker than a human hair (Exhibit C).
Under a magnifying glass one could, perhaps, even detect a trace of walnut shell. Concluding that we con-tinue to polish our fountain pen nibs in a rotating barrel of walnut shells for 56 hours (Exhibit D). Many of the old ways are still the best. Modern science has discovered, however, that tipping our nibs with...
