It kind of looks like a Pelikano, but it's hard to say from the photos. Do you have a better image of the clip and nib? That pen has gone through many variations over the years. Here is one version:

I know folks with lots of pens that are still impressed with the Pelikano's nib.

 

I don't have one because it's a cartridge pen. I do have the school pen before that, the piston Pelikan 120...and it has a real nice nib; a Joy to Write with.

 

I have a Geha school pen from the time of the 120 that has fantastic nib.....so don't let the term 'school' pen put you off. There are folks that collect all the colors of the Safari, a school pen.

Many rave about the P-45 also a school pen in some variants.

The GEHA Schulfuller has two models if I'm not wrong, one with a 14K nib, the other with a steel nib. The 14K nib is pretty flexy.

      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
