Out of curiosity, not being a subject of which I have any great knowledge, given that this is clearly not a fountain pen (these being invented some time after Waterloo, in any case) and since all pens prior to that development had to be dipped to replenish the ink supply, is this not simply 'a pen'- or more accurately a metal nib for a pen?
