That's a riddle these Matador pens: numbering, nib sizes...And now I learn that Siebert&Loewen was making "Oxford- Everdurable" pens for danish company.

Nice to see this string revived, particularly like seeing the disassembly pictures.

 

Matador is a puzzle--you can add all their model names to the list of things that cause confusion: Click, Standard, Express, Garant, Turbo, Turbino, Original, Tranparent, Superior, Gnome, and others I haven't seen yet or forgotten. I'd love to find a Matador catalog one of these days...

Someone can give me some information about this pen?
Thank you.

Welcome to FPN.

Great Pen. Congrats. It's from ca. 1934...

 

26453739362_3f7b762a12_o.jpg

 

The description means: Nr. 200 Extra Strong and Large Pen, Round (diameter)....15.- RM/pP (Reichsmark per piece)

 

Hope you will get the nib fixed well (not an easy task at all...)

I have a Waterman's J nib of which I think that J stands for kind of calligraphy nib grind. It's flex and stub...

Welcome.

You have done an excellent job of cleaning it up. You might want to share your method.

I am eagerly waiting to see the nib restoration.

Ceramic cooktop cleaning fluid to re-blacken hard rubber? This is the first time I've heard of this...

 

I'm curious to know what the long-term effects of this will be on the pen... I'm also curious as to why it would work...

 

Finally, I'd like to know exactly which cleaner you used...

You seem in luck.

 

Goldnibs is located in Spain (Segovia) and they could possibly repair this for you.

It's time to dust the Matador thread with some heavy hit.Some of us sometimes dream to take a wayback machine and enter a pre-war stationery in some capital city to do some shopping.I did,well...almost.Here are the pens that came my way thru some time-hole. Each pen never seen ink. Each in it's box, with papers, leaflets, instructions, all in all: NOS.Most probably they were made in Krakow Matador factory on Wroclawska 9 street.Three of these pens had price-stickers on barrels (which I gently removed for safe storage).Pricing is an important information: the "6" size nr "824" was 48 zloty, blue "Turbino" 36 zloty, smallest black nr "921"- 30 zloty.Pen catalog of other
stationery from 1938 shows: "Soennecken 616" for 40 zloty, "Pelikan 100N Tortoiseshell" also 40, "Montblanc 134"- 42 zloty, "Waterman Patrician"-100 zl(!).It looks these Matadors were rather expensive pens.Some very nice surprise for me was to see, for the first time, a "Turbino" pen, until now I thought there were only pencils with this name.Only one ring on cap separates it from 9xx series.The biggest pen here is "824" and here's a puzzle: I have another, exact same pen but marked "924".Even though this domed-captop model started around 1929-30 I believe these pens come from '30s: the seller had other Matadors like "Express" and "Standard" in the same condition, boxes so I believe they were produced alongside each other.Also these cardboard boxes graphics did not change much since 1925.On their sides it says: "Every pen absolutely guaranteed" and "With best 14 carat american gold nib".
Enjoy!

You Sir have won the 'best sumgai ever' prize in my eyes. WOW :yikes: :yikes: :yikes:

Well just in case if you wish to let go off a duplicate model please consider this pedestrian Matador collector.

"Writing is 1/3 nib width & flex, 1/3 paper and 1/3 ink. In that order."Bo Bo Olson

"No one needs to rotate a pen while using an oblique, in fact, that's against the whole concept of an oblique, which is to give you shading without any special effort."Professor Propas, 24 December 2010

 

"IMHO, the only advantage of the 149 is increased girth if needed, increased gold if wanted and increased prestige if perceived. I have three, but hardly ever use them. After all, they hold the same amount of ink as a 146."FredRydr, 12 March 2015

      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
