What sort of fill system does it have? if you unscrew the barrel (if you can) does it have a cartridge or some other fill system? That may have information on it. I have a pen that says nothing on the barrel or cap, but has a Pilot nib and a Pilot squeeze filler (I posted photos and also sent them to Pilot USA and was told that the pen was actually Korean; although it isn't clear whether it was a frankenpen or made under Pilot's auspices.... I'll admit that I have never seen a nib like yours, but someone who's been around longer than me may have.

OTOH, there are such things as "no-name" pens. I found one, a lever filler, a couple of years ago in the wild a couple of hours or so from where I live. I bought the pen because it had a 14 C (yes, that's what it said) music nib (three tines, instead of the normal two), for around $20 US. Turned out the nib alone was apparently worth way more than the rest of the pen. I actually let it go and Ron Zorn sold me a Parker Parkette he was refurbishing, to put the nib and feed in. Given that the Parkette is a low-end sub brand of Parker, saying that it was a better pen than the original one is saying something... (the music nib, BTW, is really nice...).

"It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."

Well I heve no idea about the filling sistem, but I left a message to the seller. He sells it for about 10$ + 10$ shipping

Yes it is. Thank you! A bit disappointed. I wanted it to be something more exotic/expensive.

      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
