Hi,

 

I am new on this forum and a newbie in fountain pens. I recently found a pen in some old stuff. The nib is bent which make writing difficult. I'd like to replace it but I even don't know which brand of pen/nib it is.

 

Can someone help me please? I've attached 2 photos.

 

Thanks,

 

MataMax

Can't read what it says on the nib.

Perhaps there is a marking on the clip.

A bit shaper picture of the end of the cap could help....in I can't ID it off the top of my head.

 

Don't know if the feed should be so bent or not.

The nib seems to be imprinted "IRIDIUM POINT W-GERMANY" although I'm not positive about the "W-". The logo on the cap is a palm tree.

 

The feeder is the same for ROTRING f.pens ..Calligraphy line...maybe your pen was made in germany…

 

The apparent "W Germany" on the nib makes it seem likelier that it, at least, was actually made in Germany.

 

Regarding the feed -- I wonder whether its made to come apart like that, or whether it's broken. Also, I can't see a bend in the nib, but the tip of the feed certainly does seem bent. If that's the problem, it can be straightened.

 

Sorry I don't recognize the make of pen.

Thank you for your replies. Some additional info :

  • on the clip there is a marking : GERMANY
  • on the nib : IRIDIUM POINT W-GERMANY
  • photo with pen mounted

Do you think this is repairable? If not, how to know what to order as a replacement nib/feed?

 

Thanks again folks !

I'm sure it's repairable, but don't know if it can be done at home.

Check the repair section.

 

Depends on what country you are in, to find out to whom to send it.

I don't know stateside folks, only Fountainble in Belgium.

      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
