Paper Mate made their name in the early 1950s with a range of ballpoint pens, it wasn't until much later that they entered the fountain pen market with a high quality, metal bodied pen made in West Germany.  There is some speculation that the pen was made by Montblanc, and the Paper Mate does bear a passing resemblance to the Montblanc Noblesse.

The Paper Mate Chrome is a metal bodied 'Flighter' type pen, very robust and well made.  Despite the name, the only chrome parts are the barrel end cap studs and the clip, the rest is brushed stainless steel.

This is a very fine example, it is in totally unused condition and is presented in the original hard plastic box, unopened until it came into my possession.  Also included is an unopened pack of 6 cartridges, so the pen is ready to write.  If further cartridges ar required, the pen accepts standard international cartridges that are readily available.

At 13.8 cm. capped and an impressive 15.4 cm. when posted, the Paper mate chrome is a long, slim, and elegant pen. 

Dating from the 1970s, the Paper Mate Chrome is not a common pen by any means, a mint, boxed example is something of a rarity.  The robust build and high quality along with the practicality of the filling system would make this pen an excellent vintage daily writer.
