Hi all,

 

can anyone help me to identify the following pen.

 

A slim, burgundy pen with silver cap, having an ink window and piston filler... (I taped the filler because it was slightly leaking because of some small cracks)

 

For further details please check the pictures.

I'm rather new to fountain pens and have no clue about the brand, country of origin, age... there's no sign of any brand on the pen itself.

I'm suspecting there might be some clue on the nib itself, but since I'm rather new to fountain pens I don't really know if/how I can remove the nib. Unscrewing the nib/feed section was not successful, I'm worried I would break something if I would try too hard to get it loose.

(It came in my possession together with a Parker 45 Arrow)

 

I would really appreciate getting any info about this pen.

Kind regards,
Pluym.

That style of syringe filler was made in large numbers in Italy in the 1960 & 70's

Thx, that's a start!

 

Sorry if I'm not using the correct terms about the filling mechanism. One just needs to pull it in order to suck in the ink.

 

So besides the request for identification, it 'll also help me to get a proper description of this pen with the correct terms 😉

 

Regards,

Pluym.

syringe filler is the term for it.

Then there are button fillers...not yours. Piston pens, bulb fillers, lever fillers....then came the cartridge. Probably missing half of them.

 

Go to Richard Binder's site, it is the bible of fountain pens; nibs, filling systems, lots and lots of :puddle: pens...good advice on inks.....should take you 3 days to read it....if you do nothing else.

I believe that these are of small value as I found a display/blister pack of these at a flea market. They came in packs of 10. I picked a couple up for $1 ea just to play with.

I'm not really interested in the value, more like age, brand and origin.

But thx anyway for your reply.

      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
