Manufacturer and Year Penol, Denmark - 1942-1946
Penol was a pen manufacturing company located in Copenhagen, Denmark; founded in 1928 by Christian Olsen, who was at that time Parker’s Scandinavian distributor. While introducing his own brand of high-quality pens, Olsen remained connected with Parker, manufacturing Parker pens under license after the Danish government embargoed the importation of fountain pens in the 1930s. During and after World War II, Olsen continued to produce Penol and Parker pens, in some cases enhancing the Parker designs. Here is a link to a fairly comprehensive web site about Penol Pens and Pencils.
