Mark's service is always excellent
Mark's service is always excellent. On this occasion I bought a Parker fountain pen - it was a good price, promptly delivered, arrived on time, well packaged and just as promised in mint condition. Thanks Mark!

Returning customer - again...
Have used Vintage Fountain Pens a number of times. Every time the pens have come back restored to fantastic condition. Service is first class, with really good turn-round times and great value-for-money. Mark is now always my first call, and recommend his work to everyone who asks.
Excellent Service and Value for Money
I have known Mark for a number of years and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who wants to buy a pen or have a repair done. His pens are always of the highest quality (no complaints) and excellent value. Mark's repair skills are second to none - he repaired a Montblanc 149 I have and did a nib swap for me a few years ago and the pen was better than when it left the factory (and still writes perfectly!). Plus he was considerably cheaper than the quote from Montblanc. Additionally, Mark is a thoroughly nice chap, a pleasure to chat with and alway gives fast, excellent service!

Excellent prices and an efficient service. I keep going back for more parts, especially ink bladders.
Quality Vintage Pen Repair Service
I recently contacted Mark to ask if he would be able to fix a leaking Parker Duofold pen from the late 50s and received a nice reply asking me to send it in for evaluation. Shortly after Mark received the pen, he emailed me to let me know he'd identified the problem and would be able to sort it quickly. The pen was repaired and sent back to me securely packaged. The pen now writes perfectly and is a pleasure to use. The whole process from start to finish was seamless, and I'd have no hesitation using Mark again for a pen repair or purchasing a pen from Vintage Fountain Pens. I would definitely recommend to others.

Highly Recommended for Fountain Pen Repairs
Mark did a fantastic job changing the nib on my very much loved fountain pen. Communication was easy and friendly from start to finish, the price was very fair, and the end result was brilliant. The pen writes beautifully now and I couldn’t be happier with the service. Highly recommended!
Great business
Website is easy to use, very good descriptions about the products for sale, very quick delivery. I have used this company before and will do in the future. Always a pleasure to see Mark and Helen at the pen shows as well. Very knowledgeable and friendly.
Very happy with my pen
Quick efficient shipping, and the pen is tuned/restored beautifully - the nib wonderful.
A Good Experience
Couldn't fault the service or delivery of my recent purchase, The item was well wrapped, the item received was as seen on the website. There were no hidden dramas or issues either using their website or that of the courier service used by Vintage Fountain Pens to post my purchase to me. It arrived on time and undamaged.
Prior to purchasing the item, I did a comprehensive background check and researched their site including their sister site selling spares and tools. It was a real joy to read through and detail the services and items Vintage Fountain Pens offers, both in terms of buying a pen, or buying spares or indeed, sending a beloved pen for repair. Would I use Vintage Fountain Pens again? Of course, based on this current experience. Keep up the good work Mark and Helen. Thank you.
Highly recommended and Very Prompt Service
Highly recommended, great service and high quality products that are very neatly packaged. Mark was very helpful with correct sizing of parts for my Conway Stewart. Very prompt service and delivery to Australia. I will have no hesitation to buy from Mark and Helen in the future.
Great pack for pen repair!
Ordered a pack of standard repair parts for leverfill and button fountain pens. Arrived really fast and as described. The pack itself is great, included everything I needed to fix up 3 vintage fountain pens which work perfectly now! Will buy from again!
Quality pens quality service
First ever vintage pen following far too long using cheap and cheerful. Having researched most trustworthy sellers of quality pens " vintage fountain pens" were recommended by AI. Having then fell in love with most of the available pens on their very easy to use site, I sent them an email asking advice for the best pen for my needs, next day I got a very helpful response from Mark. I am now the proud owner of a besutiful 1954 Parker 51. Excellent service and high quality pens. Just what I wanted and no doubt just what youre looking for too.

Excellent service from a reliable company.
Mark was so quick to get back to me with my query about fixing three fountain pens that I had neglected. He kept me informed about what needed to be done and provided a prompt service at such a reasonable price. I'm now happily scribbling away with my reconditioned pens!
Excellent quality.
Cross classic century ballpoint pen purchased. Excellent condition. Original box and spare refill. Would purchase from them again.
