Could Anyone Help Me Id This Pen?


Crockeo

Recommended Posts

A couple of months ago I inherited a pen from my late grandmother. Seeing as I didn't, and still don't know much about fountain pens, I was completely unable to ID it. I accepted that for a while, but when I discovered The Fountain Pen Network I rediscovered my hopes for finding out what this pen is. Unfortunately I don't have too much information on it.

 

The only things I can think of that might help you are:

  • The stamp on the nib that says "Iridium Point Germany", though I've been told that means next to nothing.
  • The fact that it works perfectly with Pelikan 4001 "giant" ink cartridges.

 

I've looked through the Pelikan "Product Finder" to no avail. I don't know if this discounts it being a Pelikan pen entirely, or may just a modern Pelikan pen? Sorry for being so absolutely clueless, and thank you for your help!

Here are some images of the pen:

Not a Pelikan but other than that I'm afraid I can't help much. Nice looking pen though! Maybe someone will come along that can give you a more definitive answer.

I googled around for quite a bit and found this:

 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/jet-boxed-cartridge-fountain-pen-Granite-design-iridiom-point-West-Germany-/201137589070?pt=UK_Home_Garden_PensPencils_WritingEquipment_SM&hash=item2ed4bc0b4e

 

it would suggest that it might be an old pen from a company called "addex design"

 

other than that I have no idea.

Nicely done!

 

It would appear that ... "Addex Design is well known for their special writing instruments, but they are also known for watches, wellness products, leisure products, electronical houshold appliances etc."

 

I haven't come across them before. Maybe someone else has?

I used to have a Levenger pen called "Mach 6" that looked just like that except that it had a clip on the cap. A friend had a very similar one that was a Chinese no name. I doubt that it's possible to get a positive identification of a pen like this.

I am quite sure it isn't a levenger mach 6. the rubber things are thinner and it doesn't say levenger on the pen.

      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
