Can Anyone Identify This Pen

[feletoch]

I found this pen on an online auction store, unfortunately, other than "marked Monte Grappa", the seller don't have much info on it

just wondering if anyone can identify this pen.

The cap does not look correct for a Montegrappa, it seems a Waterman cap, Waterman CF or some model similar.

yeah, the cap is not like any montegrappa model and they seems to have very little hooded nibs. but don't take my words for it, i'm not so familiar to montegrappa. however, the piston filler doesn't look recent and quite unique.

It actually might be a Monte Grappa from the 1950s or early 60s with a syringe type filling system or converter. I think you should also post this in the Italian pen forum to get better responses.

 

ETA: (Is the correct spelling "Montegrappa" or "Monte Grappa?")

The seller said is Monte Grappa.

The cap is Waterman CF, certainly not Monte Grappa

Sellers are not always accurate. In the post above by Opooh, the link takes you to a well known seller and collector, and there it is Montegrappa.
