Please define the type of pen you are asking about. Some examples are: reed, quill, steel nib, fountain, ballpoint, gel, felttip, space pen.

If you mean the quill pen: it was used from the sixth century to the nineteenth century, its inventor is unknown. Prior to the quill pen the reed pen was used. Reed pens have been found in fourth century BC Egyptian tombs, it is not known when or by whom they were invented. Fine point brushes were also used for writing for centuries.

The quill pen became obsolete in the 1820s, following the introduction of the maintenance-free, mass produced steel nib by John Mitchell.
