Hi, I bought this HYP on eBay mostly on whim (I've never had one before and the price wasn't horrible so I took a chance) Can anyone give me some info on what I bought?


I imagine this is a later variant because of the metal cap, maybe standard size? I'm not expecting much but I just wanted a nice user grade pen.


Thanks.

You bought a broken pen ... the lucite end of the body is gone (as often seen on those models).

I'm not sure the cap is genuine ...

Haven't ever seen a metal cap on a Hundred Year Pen, likely the original cap crazed and fell apart like the bottom of the pen did. If the nib is in good condition it may be worth about what you paid for the pen.

Let's 'borrow' a few pictures before it disappears from view.

 

If the cap is screw and is wrong it must have come from a LARGE Watermans...so which one.

 

 

 

 

 

If we cannot name a model of such size then just maybe it is correct.

Yes, you are right, but with slip-cap, not for a screw cap model like the one sanesangowdayya bought.

I really do not think the cap is genuine.

 

 

Good catch! Maybe there was such a cap or maybe not.

Seems like we`re coming to the end of our wisdom... too many possibilities.

Good link to the info on Richard Binder's site. Always a good place to stop by.

      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
