''Победа 63'

[shufen]

I came across this pen on the internet. Any expert out there can tell the meaning of the numbers, the letter and the trade mark of the engraving on this nib.

 

What I got is, the pen is made in Bulgaria in 1963.

12.8 cm long

(should / could be bakelite barrel)

100% authentic

 

The marking:

something like a big rectangular "G"

1, 22

7M2

 

I just wondering which company produced this, or government owned commune?

 

Many thanks.

By the way, "Победа" means "Victory" in Bulgarian.

Okay, via another channel, someone answered, pretty technical:

NIce! The first Bulgarian pen I've seen. I like the utilitarian look of those East-block-products.

Piston filler? Button filler?

It looks like there's currently a lot of for-repair pens with what looks like 5 of the 6 pens being this model on ebay right now. I thought it said "Modella 63" but with this result coming up and looking at the script imprint, I see now that these are the Bulgarian "Pobeda 63" pens mentioned here and a few other places on the web. Neat!

I'm glad to see some renewed interest in this pen.  Years ago, I did a video where I briefly showed it, and I got a comment this week about how I was the only video on it.  So I'm eager to soak up as much information as possible so I can do a proper video on it!
