The Cologne Pen Show 2003

Koln is the biggest and most important pen show in Germany.
While not as big as some of the U.S. pen shows, nevertheless many collectors and dealers attend from all over Europe.

Here you can meet people from Denmark, The Nederland, Sweden, Great Britain, Italy, Croatia, Japan and of course Germany. Many important people in the writing instrument world come to this show, like Dr. Osman Sumer, Stefan Wallrafen who is the organizer of the show and author of famous book on Montblanc, as well as Tom Westerich and many more.

I enjoy this show very much and do much business with many friends. My great pleasure is to talk and learn from the many people that are experts on many different pens. Here is where I can learn important facts on pens from my many friends.

The show was attended by around 60 dealers and collectors with a working time of from 10 AM to 5 PM on a single day - Saturday.
This is the only show in the world that I know of that opens only on Saturday, many others are open only Sunday...except in the U.S. where it is normally two days for dealers and public.

This is a show where everybody who loves pen should visit!
