Nice Wahl Eversharp Nib - Is The Pen A Wahl Eversharp Or It's Sheaffer?


Le Vieux

Recommended Posts

I have acquired a pen, which is nice and have a springy nib, good flex. The nib is inscribed Wahl Eversharp 14k, 2 Flexible.

 

The seller advertised the pen as a Wahl Eversharp, but there is no inscription to that effect whatsoever, no numbers or anything onto the body, cap or feed. I am not at all certain this is a Wahl Eversharp, looks like a Sheaffer to me, albeit a small one. Perhaps I am wrong on both accounts, that is why I seek help to identify this fountain pen.

 

Thank you for your time and consideration!

Neither a Wahl nor a Sheaffer. It looks like a "no name" pen made by what is frequently called a "3rd Tier" maker.

At some point put a very nice nib on a much lesser pen.

 

It is not uncommon for sellers to assume that a pen is by the maker marked on the nib when there is no other marking to contradict it.

 

Best Regards, greg

Don't feel bad. I'm old; I'm meh about most things.

The pen looks attractive but I agree with Greg, it is neither a Wahl-Eversharp nor a Sheaffer.

That's what I thought. Blast, I thought I had a good one. Oh well, the nib is genuine and the pen is nice, so I guess it's not as bad as it may have been.

 

Thank you both, for your comments, much appreciated!

      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
