Pen Around 1930 ?

[Sakura FP Gallery]

Can anybody identity this pen ?

It has been given as a gift probably around 1930 in Belgium.

It is a rather small pen. Cap closed 12cm long. The only marks are :

on the nib : warranty - 14 kt - usa

on the clip which looks lik a spoon : 18kt gold

And that's it.

the 18 kt. on the spoon ended clip would seem to suggest possibly either made in France, or made elsewhere for the French market - take it there isn't a fineness mark on the body anywhere. Nibs are notorious for being misleading - in a long life a pen may well see more than one nib, and this one may well be a replacement.

Wouldn't surprise me if the date of birth was a little earlier than you're suggesting - but I do like it.

Thank you for taking a look at the pictures. I'll check the body again but I do not think there is any mark on it.
