Typ Fountain Pen.....german Or Dutch?

[Whoneedsasword]

Here's a lovely little Typ button filler fountain pen measuring 41/8".

The barrel marking simply reads 'Typ Standard' and the nib markings read Warranted 585 14k.

 

I can find little to no information regarding this make, although it's listed on here as being a Dutch brand and the one I've seen that sold in Germany was listed as a German brand. I wondered if anyone could clarify this. Also whether this would be the original nib? I thought not, but the one I found in Germany also had the same nib.

Don't know, seems to be a Parker Clone....which would have been common enough at the time. Button fillers were popular in the '30's.

 

The Germans had Duofold clones that were so much cheaper than the Parker/Osmia Duofold that Parker/Osmia sold very little.

In Italy, they searched the returning GI's right after the war for counterfeit Parker's.

It has been some time since the question about this beautiful pen was asked...

 

In the list of the Known European Brands, it appears as a Dutch pen. The finishing looks similar to a Penol (Denmark), inherited from Parker Vacumatic. Now when you consider how many pens from Denmark were adopted as German pens, I tend to believe the Typ Standard is Dutch.

 

Such a nice pen deserved a new look in the forum, anyway...
