Gilbert & Blanzy-Poure belongs to a long tradition of French writing-instrument manufacture. Its Blanzy-Poure roots date back to 1846, when Pierre Blanzy and Eugène Poure established a metal pen-nib factory in Boulogne-sur-Mer, France. The company gained recognition for the quality and variety of its products, receiving awards at national and international exhibitions.

Over time, mergers brought together the names Gilbert, Blanzy-Poure and Conté. Vintage nibs and packaging bear markings such as Blanzy, Poure & Cie, Gilbert & Blanzy-Poure, Blanzy-Conté-Gilbert and Blanzy, France. These names form part of a shared manufacturing heritage encompassing nibs for handwriting, calligraphy and drawing.

The Diamant No. 405 is a vintage French pointed dip pen nib that produces very fine lines. Its moderate flexibility allows variation in stroke width without the extreme responsiveness of a very soft nib.
