What Nib Is This, And What Pen Might Be Suitable For It?

[passer]

Hello. Does anyone know what this is, and with what body it might fit (and if it so happens: where to find)?

It seems to say RELE R12 GOLDPLATED on it. The second image here shows the rear side, the opening is the ink canal I guess.

 

Thanks

Since it is a disposable nib with no tipping it may fit Esterbrook pens.

Looks similar to the Reform and Pelikan nibs, couldn't say for certain that it'll fit those.

Hello, thanks to you both. Since it's a bit hard to figure out where to start searching in Reform and Pelikan, but Esterbrook makes or at least once made relief models, I've sent an inquiry to Esterbrook for now.

But another question: What do you mean it's a nib with no tipping? I thought it's something like a needle pin. Do you think it can't be used as is, but needs a tip to be put on the nib body?

It can be used as is but will wear out quickly. They were meant to be used for a short while and then replaced.

Good to know, thanks. I guess it's not worth the effort then. Since I own only one of them.
