Rudolf Faber Select Mini Fountain Pen

[Rudolf]

Hallo FPL'S (fountain pen lovers),

Please, has anyone an idea or information about this very tiny fountain pen? It's an old one of my father in law who has already died.
Capped about 10,5 cm long. Uncapped 9,5 cm long. It's a piston-filler.
I can't find information on the internet.

Thanks in advance,

Ruud

If you could also post close-up photos of the nib and clip, that might help. If the nib has ink and stuff on it, rinse it off, first.

 

I can tell that it was made either before WWII ended or after reunification in 1989. I strongly suspect that the use of blind caps for piston fillers had gone out of style in Germany by then, based on earlier examples I've seen here from Reform, Geha, and Pelikan.

 

a-heh. You've already explained that it's old, having belonged to your late father-in-law. Thus, it likely dates from or before WWII.
