No clue. The 14k nib looks good, though.

Yeah, I thought the nib looked good too. I'm deciding if it looks good enough to go out of my way to go take a look in person.

Any country on the nib? Can we assume the B stands for Broad or possibly 1st letter of mfg? Nice pen though.

The 585 suggests that it's something that expected to sell in Europe. The only B that springs to mind is Bexley, but it doesn't look like their work, and I can't image Bock not using the goat logo if they're putting their own branding onto it.

Oh, good heavens. He's got a blog now, too.

Very interesting. The 585 corresponds to the 14k percent of gold. The B then may mean Bock if you folks feel it is from Europe.

I believe it is as Herlitz. Herlitz made a pen called the Herlitz Bugatti using the nibs with a B on them. Some of these pens say Bugatti on the cap band. Most do not.

      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
