Can You Id This Pen With These Mediocre Pics Only?

[Tintafuego]

OK, boys and girls, guess if you can:

 

My in-law who is far and away from where I now live found this fountain pen in an old box. He is not very good with technology, but still managed to take some pictures of the pen. Only when he comes visit in December I will be able to look at the thing in person (the pen, not my in-law). Do any of you vintage lovers see any mark that could get me closer to finding out the identity of this pen? I will post more images of it in about 30 days when he visits.

I am no authority by any stretch of anyone's imagination, but hazarding a guess. It may be a Pelikan, based upon the '500' on the barrel.

Not a Pelikan, three cap bands, the 500 was not on the pen, in the 500 had a rolled gold piston cap where it would have been. The 500n and 500nn, I don't know where marked but would not be just there and would have been tortoise I would almost bet. It was a flagship pen.

 

Need to see the clip...............could be a Soennecken 500....school pen??? But I didn't find 500 listed in Labrou's book.

 

Ask your father in law what it says on the nib.

...and in the diamond next to the 500

This weekend I will talk to him and will ask him to take more pictures, with special attention to the nib imprint, pen cap, clip, bands and barrel.

I think in the pics you can kind of see dry ink around the nib and feed. I don't know how many decades that has been stored. More than 40 years perhaps?

On the other hand, he found it right beside a grey Parker 51 (16k gold filled cap with a blue diamond clip). That one seems fully functional after all these years.

The diamond made me think of Conway Stewart, but I don't think they did rounded ends like the one on this mystery 🤔

looks like MO inside the diamond
