"popular" Made In Bavaria Eyedropper Pen - Information Sought

[BCastle]

Hi folks,

The pictures below show a chased (black rubber?) eyedropper pen marked" "Popular" Made in Bavaria". It has a nice nib. I was wondering if anyone could help to identify a possible maker. The nib is marked with three letters within an oval - my versions are included in one of the photos. They look like a C (or G but it lacks a horizontal serif at the top of the upwards loop), W and F. There are further markings which perhaps indicate the nib type.

 

I hope the pictures are of interest and any information provided by readers would be most greatfuly received

FPN member Kaweko might know a thing or two about this.

Brilliant, thanks

 

My wife has just been playing on google - she suggests that CWF might stand for Columbus Werke Fürth a pen maker from near Nürnberg (which fits in with the Bavaria marking)

It would be interesting for a small pen manufacturer in Bavaria to mark a pen for export to English-speaking markets. I wonder if there is a story behind this?

Yes, I too would like to know the story.

I do have a very similar CWF pen with the imprint "TORPEDO". I think the only different is the style of the cap lip.

Hah, and I still tried to remember where I have seen something similar. Now it's clear
