Help Me Id This [Russian?] Pen


Guardy

Recommended Posts

(Well, not really ID, I kind of know what I've got here I think; it's more about "have you ever seen that thing before")

 

Guardy's back with another weird pen!

 

I'm beginning to see a pattern, here...

 

Today's pen is a tiny little thing I found on the flea market; part of a fountain/ballpoint pen set.
It's a c/c pen that takes standard cartridges.
No clue how it writes, yet - it's pretty caked with old ink. Seems promising enough, though.

 

I completely fell in love with the design; the pen is very slim, just over 5 inches long, surprisingly heavy and has a dainty, elegant little nib that looks absolutely lovely.

 

Brand appears to be called "Protégé Paris" (pen model is probably called "privilège"), but I'm at least 99% sure it's not French.

 

From my googling (and the 100% Russian results I got), I'd say it's actually a Russian pen, but quite frankly, my Russian is pretty much nonexistent. I know, like, three words and the common nickname for Dmitri, so... yeah.

 

And yet again, the question is: Anybody else here who has ever heard of that brand? Or speaks Russian and can read up on it?
Because I'm curious.

 

Also: pictures. Sorry for the bad quality, my camera doesn't like silvery things.

Where do you see the brand to be Protégé?

 

In the box it is written Privilége, not Protégé Paris (and that means Protected, Paris)

On the outside of the pen case, couldn't get a good photograph of that - sorry. Lighting's awful in here.

The logo on the pen and its related stuff matches up with this image, here.

 

Also, the image search for "Protege Paris" returns plenty of pictures of similar fountain pens.

 

That was my reasoning behind that.

 

/EDIT: Protégé is also what's engraved on the pen cap, so there's that, too.

/EDIT2: Same thing (with the logo) on the nib, too

 

/EDIT3: I can't type D:

This pen is a tiny, pocket-sized treasure.

 

It's a shame it's so very thin, otherwise this would be one of my favorites by now.

 

Also, it's made me even more curious about this pen.

 

So, yeah, I'm just going to bump this topic up and hope that nobody minds - and that somebody on here can help me.

      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
