Edit: Found another black wood pen, in worse condition than my brown one. But wondering if they are from the same family?

One is F nib and the other is FF.

Full stop.

 

That is NOT in bad shape, the cap is Sterling Silver most likely. Needs polishing. Same at the butt end. The section too may be sterling silver so look for proof marks.

from the images, it looks to be a classic ebony GvFC. It's a little tarnished, but the nib and pen are in very good condition. Needs a little polishing to bring back the shine.

The engraving looks a little faded, thus ill try polishing as you suggested! Would you recommend just a normal silver polishing cloth, or the use of some solution?

Thanks! It does look like a classic ebony, but what would you say are the defining characteristics if you don't mind sharing?

I just use a silver polishing cloth and sometimes a little spit. Just like when Mom used to clean our faces.

all my GvFC have wonderfully smooth nibs. The pens feels very solid in the grip. And for some reason, the metal section doesn't feel slippery like my Visconti's.

      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
