What would DPR mean on a 100N?

Title says all.

Whereabouts on the pen in the DPR? Is it like a monogram or is it something small?

 

If it's like a monogram or label it could be Deutsche Prüfstelle für Rechnungslegung which is German Financial Reporting Enforcement. Maybe they had their staff pens or something? No idea what they do but I bet someone from Germany could tell you. It sounds a bit scary.

 

If it's just tiny little writing/stamping somewhere, then I have no idea.

I haven't seen it. According to the seller. "Pelikan DPR" is engraved on the pen. I don't know where.

I'm sure that someone on here who knows heaps more about Pelikan and Germany than I do will come up with an answer at some stage soon. I hope so because it's interesting to find out these things!

Good luck!

Me again - just had a look at http://www.ruettinger-web.de/e-pelikan-modell-100n.html and there is info on this there. It's apparently DRP. I found the listing for the pen that has the engraving on e*ay.

Hope this helps you.

It does. With the letters in the correct order a Google search said...

 

D.R.P. stands for 'Deutsche Republik Patent'

 

Thanks.

The engraving is at the captop.

It's DRP. And my understanding of it, at least with regard to the 100N, is that it would stand for Deutsche Reich Patent
