Bayard was founded when Étienne Forbin, a Parisian bookseller, trademarked the name in 1912 after years distributing American writing instruments. By 1922 his grandchildren, the Panici Frères, took over production and established Bayard as a genuine rival to the American Big Four. The No 120 is a full-size safety with beautiful chasing and craftsmanship that punches well above this price point.\u003cbr\u003eThe ebonite shows honest wear — deep scratches on the cap, grade C — but the hallmark imprints are tactile and fully visible, and the chasing remains crisp where it hasn't been worn. This is a pen that's been used and enjoyed, priced accordingly. Full safety mechanism rebuilt with fresh gaskets. Ebonite rejuvenated and lightly hand-polished.\u003cbr\u003eThe 18ct Bayard nib is the surprise here — soft, smooth, and great for fast writing. Not a calligraphy showpiece, but a nib that rewards speed and a light touch. 2.5x line variation at 360g gives you expressive writing without fighting the pen.\u003cbr\u003eTested on Rhodia 90gsm with Diamine Imperial Purple.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heron's Mooncake","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46553571197116,"sku":"HM1225038","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/7435\/7948\/files\/DSC02209.jpg?v=1777719125","url":"https:\/\/heronsmooncake.com\/products\/bayard-no-120-safety-black-ebonite-18ct-flex-nib","provider":"Herons Mooncake","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
