Please help identify this vintage pen
OldTravelingShoe posted a topic in Fountain & Dip Pens - First Stop
TL;DR: I made a few impulse buys in Delft, NL. I would appreciate any help identifying this one vintage fountain-pen. Details and my own feeble attempts to identify it follow, after photos. Figure 1. Full pen, with blind cap and cap removed. Figure 2. Nib zoom-in. Figure 3. Push-button zoom-in. Figure 4. Cap and especially clip zoom-in. Details: I wanted for many months to explore the antique shops in the town nearby, Delft, the Netherlands. I took a chance on Saturday. I bought a handful of pens, all in the range 5-25€. The prices seem to me very good; for example, I acquired a Lamy 99 with 14k nib for <10€, which I believe is about 1/5th to 1/10th of the market value. One of the pens (the expensive one at 25€) in particular is proving to be stubbornly misterious. If the cost ratio at point 2 holds, this should cost between 150€ and 250€. I do not care about the cost, but ut may help with its identification. The body has "Brancas" engraved. I searched for this but there seems to be no such fountain pen company or brand. I suspect this is not the original clip. The clip goes too deeply inside, having a circumference (diameter) much smaller than that of the pen body or the screw-in finial on the cap. But, if it is, maybe it is an Omas pen. I believe the pen has a broken button filler. I believe the nib is not original to the pen. In any case, the nib is two-tone, and has engraved "REX" and the number "4" inside a star. I believe it is a steel, partially gold-plated nib. I suspect it is a vintage 1930s fountain pen. I also think 1920s-1940s could be the likeliest range. I checked the two versions of Andreas Lambrou's books I have at home, "Füllfederhalter" (in German) and "Stylos d'Hier et d'Aujourd'hui" (in French). I also searched eBay as thoroughly as I could. I looked in particular for Montblanc, Soennecken, Omas, also Bohler, Matador, Rex. Lots of look-alikes, but nothing similar enough to stop my search. Many thanks for helping out! -

Hi! I have a vintage Sheaffer student pen (about the 70s model) that I found at an antique store. The previous owner had let the ink run out and then just set it down. Thankfully, the ink was water soluble so that the ink was easily removed with lots of flushing and soaking. I got a new cartridge with the exact ink that was in it before (Skrip since the cartridge was still attached) but it won't flow out. If I place a paper towel on top of the nib, ink flows onto the paper towel, it just won't flow to the very tip of the nib. The nib is inlaid and can't be adjusted. I'm not sure what else to try.

Dear forumites, It's my 10th day on this forum and my first topic here. I really enjoy lurking through this site and my FP-mania grows with each passing minute Now today I've found a tiny fountain pen in my granddads closet. All I know is that it's a Pilot, maybe from '70s (or '80s. or '60s...). The nib is 14k 585. It's folding. And it's very thin. Kinda reminds me my Pilot Birdie pencil (however not that thin of course). Pictures: It's in excellent cosmetic condition. Folded. The color almost looks like surf green on my Precision Bass Posted: Disassembled with squeezer converter (or is it not?) Could someone please help me identify this pen: date of manufacturing, maintenance instructions (it looks like this squeeze module is not detachable. or am I wrong?) et ceterea. Oh, and there are tiny letters on the lower part of its body: HS 26 Thank you all!
