I love the Stoakes (and Newton-Stoakes) pens. I have a number of the Stoakes pens that seem very old and write beautifully, and now that I examine them, there is a marking on one side of the nib that says PAT.MAR.2.80. None of my other automatic pens have a date stamped on them. Thank you so very much for posting and sharing your expertise. Best regards, Ginger Hello,
