Help For Dating This Onoto Pen

[migbotero]

I've got this Onoto pen and not sure about barrel material and approximate year of production.

I'm sure it is not a Minor, neither Magna, Mammoth, 2000, 3000, N, O, K models....but not sure if I can designate it as the "standard" model.

It is black chased but not sure if hard rubber or celluloid (no typical smell is recognized).

It is plunger filler, and measures approx. 139-140mm capped, 134mm uncapped and 180mm posted, with 16-17 grams of weight.

Although at the end there is a number 4601, I think it seems more similar to the 5600/6230 series (maybe this part was changed and is not from the original pen). Nib is 3/st (stub?).

I think it is from 30's to 50's but need to be more precise.

Could you please help me with your knowledge?

Nobody can help in this matter?

Or maybe I need to post in a different thread?

Are there any rules that I must know about these type of questions?

Sorry for my insistence....but I need your inputs.

Try in the British pen forum.

 

Love the pen.

It does remind me of the 6230 and I read a few entries about Onoto here: http://goodwriterspens.com/category/de-la-rue/

I'm still waiting on the guide on the entire company which should be out... eventually. I thought the /st marking was connected to the location for manufacturing the nib like street number. Nevertheless it's a nice FP.

I had missed this, sorry.

It's a 6233, as is my one reviewed here: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php?/topic/173388-onoto-6233-blue-pearl-review/ which explains a little of the history of the model and possible dating in the second para.
