1950-ish Rotring "Gold-Doublé". Before 1970 Rotring didn't give a model name to most of the pens, only model numbers. The ballpoint should be 0368 (Price back then 16 Deutsche Mark).

 

I cant make out the writing on the bottom of the cap, if the "g" in the logo looks like this.

its an original 1950s

 

if it looks like this:

Its from a reproduction series from the 1980s.

 

The value is hard to estimate, if its missing the satin display case and its really as beat up as it looks - around 60$. If the condition is really good, complete with case and its an 1950s original - somehwere around 200$

@ JPS_Rotring:

 

Thank you for your answer.

I have to mention that the set is Matt White with chrome trims. The box is hard plastic sliding with grey satin finish, with 3 slots (no idea for the 3-rd pen...). The fountain pen is using cartridges or converter with smaller nipple than the international standard (like Pelikano ones). The BP is using old type of refills (slim). Both pens look like never used before, but with a bit of tarnish/rust cause by storage probably. Also on the box, sleeve and pens the logo is look like the older version.

That would have been the rollerball in the middle slot. Matte silver would have been "0380 Mattchrom". Sorry but it looked like gold in the first pictures. With the case its a late 70s/ early 80s version. Value is because of the missing piece around 50$ i guess, but because theres not really a market for these pens its upto the buyer. If seen these go for 10$ and 100$, with seemingly no reason for one or the other.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
