Hi All,

I have a fairly high quality pen that i am unable to identify. I actually got it with a case that I bought not to long ago. I took it to a colleague of mine who is a seasoned Pen enthusiast and he and i are baffled by this one. It comes completely apart and all of the machining is absolutely perfect. Everything fits together perfectly with almost no friction. All parts of this pen (Except for the feed of course) are metal of one type or another and nothing is oxidizing. The nib has a nice looking vermeil (Ambiguous "Iridium point germany" stamp) that writes smooth as silk. The main problem is that the convertor receptacle is screw in and proprietary. I would love to use this pen other than just dipping it, but i need to figure out what it is so i can get the parts.....Any Ideas? The cap stone piece looks to be Onyx possibly, although i am no jeweler so i can't be sure.

All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

What does the clip look like?

Tes rires retroussés comme à son bord la rose,


Effacent mon dépit de ta métamorphose;


Tu t'éveilles, alors le rêve est oublié.



-Jean Cocteau, from Plaint-Chant, 1923

It reminds me of the Dayacom pens. They're like Schmidt/JoWo and all those other mass manufacturing companies.

 

Take a gander through what they have.

Looks Chinese - I don't know of any kits that have a threaded converter, but if Independance has a threaded converter, it's worth a shot. Kit pens a pressed together with friction fit parts, but they are usually a bugger to get apart again, they fit really tight.

A non threaded converter might fit in. I have some Delta pens that came with threaded converters. I am able to use some noname converters with them. Other converters on the other hand are too thick and I can't insert them into the section because of the threads. If you have a penshop near you it would be best to check if they can find a fitting converter for your pen.

Interesting thought about possibly a kit pen. All of the parts came a part very easily and stay put quite well. Like i said the machining of the threads is really good. I tried some standard pop in cartridges and they wont fit. I will look at the delta that you mentioned maybe i can find something there

      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
