What Kind Of Pen Is That?

Hi Everybody.

 

First of all I have been reading this forum a long time and the community is great!

Today I managed to go on an old market-bazaar and I have found two fountain pens which I bought for under 3$.
One was a Parker 25, as soon as I identified it I wanted the other one, maybe it is a gem too :).
So my question is, anybody has an opinion what brand/type is this pen in the pictures?

It had a Parker cap but as it can be seen in the pictures the pen has a "screw cap tread" above the section, so probably the cap is not the original one, just a replacement (it fits quite well though to be honest).

Also I am not convinced about the cap's genuineness, maybe you guys can tell if it is an original one from some other Parker type or just a copy (like some of the Hero's have) - so I uploaded a pic about it. I did not find any similar Parker product in the web so far so probably the FP is from another brand.

 

It has a nice looking green barrell, the whole body is made from plastic. The nib has an "Iridium Point" sign on it and a logo which I am not familiar with. It looks like a jumping ram or goat in front of a hill in the background. Also it has a piston filler built in, and the end "cap" is missing from it, but the piston is working - I can screw it. I did not clean it yet..
Do you have any idea what can be the brand or the type for this pen?

 

Sorry if I should not open a new topic for that but I did not found any similar one. If it is please inform me or the moderaters can move my post to there of course if it is necessary!

Thank you in advance and have a nice day!

Does that knob on the end turn? If so that would confirm my guess that it is a piston filler and that might point to Europe-- but i am not knowledgeable enough to say for sure. What does it say on the nib?

Yes the knob turns, I mentioned in the post that it is a piston filler-pen. I bought it in Hungary so probable it is from some European brand.

The writing in the nib is "Iridium Point" and a logo which looks like a jumping ram or goat in front of a hill in the background, I did not find any brand sign on the pen.

The nib sounds like it might be a generic Bock, which isn't really going to help identification. Love that green barrel though, whatever its origin.

Thank you, at least now I know the nib brand. However I was unable to pull out it and feed from the section, is it possible that it is not removable? I tried twisting it a little since I read that some types can be removed like this...but it didn't work and I don't want to broke it.

Now it is soaking in water, at the end of the day I will try if it is leaking or usable. I hope at least the nib can be attached to one of my other pens.

I checked them both and they are working like a charm! Unfortunately from this green one the second section above the barrel (the cap for the piston knob?) is missing as well as the cap for it, so it is not at "everyday" carry pen. But at least the Parker 25 is like a new one....definitely got a steal there :)

      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
