What Is This Thing? Mystery Pen


TXKat

Recommended Posts

Hi all, I'm looking to you experts to help me determine what I bought at the local flea market last weekend. I really can't tell for certain, but it writes quite nicely! I do need to find a proper cap though...(this is only an extra I had in the drawer.)

 

The limited information i was able to find makes me think it's a Skripsert. El cheapo pen, but the back end of the pen is flat, not round and is slightly tapered. Nib is silver toned, says Sheafer and takes cartridges.

 

Is there something else this could be? Where would I find a cap?

 

Any and all information, suggestions, guesses are greatly appreciated.

(I paid $3 and a quick shot under the faucet and a cartridge later, it's being used again!)

 

 

 

 

Not sure what this black one is, but if anyone can shed light on why it has a silver key like thing, I'd appreciate that, too, lol. :P

 

 

So, what's your point?

(Mine is a flexible F.)

I suspect a cap swap with a different inexpensive Skripsert on the first one, although it's not impossible that they had a run with that shape of cap, too. The second one is a baffler-- the silver doodad is making me think of the way older Esterbrook DipLess pens held their points, but I don't know that fitting well enough to know if that is in fact one of them.

I am using the cap from a pen I don't own. But it covers the nib and snugs up on the pen...just doesn't stay on very long as it's too short! So this is a skripsert?

So, what's your point?

      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
