Any help whatsoever would be appreciated. Could potentially be a frankenpen but havent seen that exact cap (with the gold trim on the clip) on any other models (such as the pen pictured at the bottom of this catalogue: http://web.archive.org/web/20050402015834/http://platinumplace.tc/Library17.htm )

I remembered seeing this pen here:

I have a 1970's Platinum pocket pen. It is white with maple leaves and has a medium nib and soon will be on sale. Nothing wrong with it, it's just that I need a finer nib.

Not a frakenpen, but I have no eye deer what the model number would be. Humm, seems that I saw something like this on fleabay, background and all...

Thanks for your help: Yep, seems like a Platinum pocket pen now that I have googled them a bit more.

 

Mind you, the model numbers seem pretty cryptic. Not sure exactly how many different types that Platinum made but it seems quite difficult to determine its exact model.

just call it a Pocket Pen while knowing the true model number will be a true hassle on it's own 1960-1970s

if you really want to know your estimated pen's date the nib should carry a manufacturing date according to Bruno Taut's blog on dating platinums

the manufacturing date is on the underside of the nib
