Old Staedtler Fountain Pens

[Keppo]

Hello!

couple months ago i bought staedtler-mars fountain pen, and have been trying to find some more information about it for a while now.

Only lead this far is a similar pen for sale in this german site:

markt.de, Alter STAEDTLER-MARS-Fülle​r, Goldfeder 585, 14 Karat, um 1940

 

Do you guys have old Staedtler fountain pens?

Also would you know where i could find some more info about their fountain pens from this era?

Staedtler like many stationery firms also sold fountain pens but I think they were mostly re-branded pens from other makers aimed mainly at the school/student market. Most were pretty well made.

The trouble with German pens is that there were so many pen manufacturers up to the 50s/60s that only the big brands or upmarket brands are documented.

The only 'vintage' Staedtler Mars that I own is one made for Montblanc, an old Safety pen dating to between 1915 - 1920. I know I have some 'new' ones in my desk somewhere, but I can't recall ever coming across any from the 30s - 50s sporting their name. It may very well be, as Whych says, they might in the main be under other branded names.

I'm sure there is an expert on here who will be able to enlighten us all.
