Nib Logo Recognized? Vincenza Guild *1776Vi Made Sterling Cap

[Buzzie]

Recognize logo on nib? Sterling cap near top hallmarked *1776VI (Vincenza guild), stamped 925 and also stamped "A" near band. Nib with logo stamped West Germany Iridium Point, but I don't recognize the logo although it looks familiar. Can anybody ID the round logo on nib? Since the sterling cap is from Vincenza, perhaps the origin of the pen is Italian? I've had it for years. The cap band is stamped Nova Jazz, along with nib size M in square. The nib logo has me puzzled. Hope the photos help.

These nibs are often used on MB fakes. They're produced in China and unfortunately hold no real value.

Aloha - Thanks - I had it in my Chinese-origin bag until I saw the 925 sterling stamp and the Vincenza guild stamp on the cap. A strange nib/cap matchup. Fortunately, the nib/feed is working well. Aloha -

Not really that strange.

 

The Italian Jewelery stores often made pens to be sold in house where the body was mass contracted but caps and furniture made of Sterling silver.

What is the meaning of "vincenza" written on cap?

Is not an italian brand, and is not an italian city, as the name of the italian city is vicenza, not vincenza.

For me, looking also at the nib, is a chinese fake, with an italian soundng name.

It looks like the 1776VI halmark belongs to Signum:

And Signum use Nova as a brand. So I guess this "Nova Jazz" is a Signum, a fake Signum, or a frankenpen (Signum cap on a Chinese body).
