Has Anyone Seen This Pen Before?

[zepp]

I dug out this pen I bought from someone here on fpn, and since I cannot find any documentation about this pen, I am wondering if it's a fake Pelikan... Has any of you folks seen this pen before?

 

The pen only accepts standard international shorts if I remember correctly, any converters I own are too big to fit due to the barrel girth. The nib has Iridius Point Germany on it. Cap is very heavy, outweights the body by 3-4 times, doesn't post, no engravings on the top.

This is IMHO the most comprehensive Pelikan database available. You can also email Dominic the webmaster and author of the website. He will help you identify it.

 

Never seen that pen but I don´t collect cartridge fillers, so that is a big blind area for me. I must say it looks legit, but I have never seen a Pelikan with Iridium point engraved on the nib....

I have not seen that pen before but that does not mean it isn't genuine. The biggest thing that would concern me, at least about the nib, is the "Iridius Point Germany." That is not an inscription found on Pelikan's nibs, at least not the ones that I've encountered. My gut is that it may be a fake but I'm not very tuned into Pelikan's cartridge pens. I would suggest you look for a match on Dominic's site. It is about the most comprehensive resource out there. https://www.pelikan-collectibles.com/en/Pelikan/Models/Cartridge-filler/index.html

looks like we wrote exactly the same thing in different words only apart for a few minutes

Looks a bit like the Pelikan P10 Goya. The cap is a little different though. These pens had nibs marked "Iridius Point Germany."

Apparently Dominic indicates some pens of the gallery collection did come with a similar nib engraving so it may be legitimate yet. Still can't place it after a look through Dominic's archives. I agree with contacting him directly.

Thanks guys, I did dig through Dominic's website twice before asking it here, simply because I cannot find the model at all.

 

I will contact him shortly to know the true nature of this pen.
