enchiridion,

 

Earlier you wrote: Matador is German, true, but there is also a French Matador and that has been widely discussed in The Matador Thread...

 

Just an observation ! and thanks for the clarifications you have added...

I see that TF Est. 1968 also claims Swiss origins.

I just found a pen marked "Colibri R.O.C."

I'm assuming it was made in Taiwan.

That is a defunct brand officially based in London, but managed from Antwerp, Belgium. They were known for lighters. The real owners were Belgian diamond traders. The manufacturing was done where the price was best.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned these additional Russian/USSR brands:

 

Avto Ruchka

Benu

and I think that “Yaroslavi” should be “Yaroslavil”

Not sure how I missed this thread before now.  
I did note that Heiko was listed for Germany (I have one of those, a piston filler, which I picked up last spring at an estate sale) but not the other pen -- also a piston filler -- I got at the same sale: a brand called "Singwitz".  When I got home and did a little research, I found -- possibly from some thread on FPN -- that one or both of those pens were East German production.

And I recently picked up a little lever filler marked "Shirley Temple" (which I then read someplace was made by a sub-brand of Wearever).  It's listed in this thread under US brands as -- possibly -- having been made by a company called David Hahn (and wondering now if that is in fact the Wearever sub-brand I'd seen mentioned, or some other company entirely...).

I had brought the two German pens with me to maybe get checked out/repaired last weekend at OPS, but ran out of time and money and did have four other pens repaired, including some no-name lever filler with a hooded (!) nib, and the Shirley Temple pen.

Spain had a brand called Barlei. Apparently it was originally Barley but changed to Barlei when Franco took over in order to sound more nationalistic and keep the fascists sweet.
