That looks like a Chinese pen.

 

+1. Bock/Jowo #6 nib should fit

Add lightness and simplicate.

Any brand or name ideas?

'made in China'? :lol:

If there's no branding on it, then it's one of those ... who knows who made it?  Likely made in China?

Two thoughts:

1) Are you sure it's a wooden body? If so I'm less likely to go with the thought of Chinese origin. (Although other aspects of the pen make me think so.)

2) From the single photo I don't see anything grossly wrong with the nib. I was likely stored full of ink that has now dried and hardened. Have you done a good soak and flush of the pen?  Can you tell us more about the writing problems?

Have fun!

I cleaned it all out and got a new nib from Goulet and it writes like butter now. It has good weight too which I like when I write. The nib keeps slipping out and I am having trouble making it stay put. But it is a a lovely pen.  Thank you everyone.

      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
