Please help identify this pen


AceNinja

Recommended Posts

I recently just 'recovered' this pen.  It was sitting in some box in some closet in the house for a very long time (at least 10 years).  Just recovered this while cleaning up the house.   I said 'recovered' because it was inked and the ink has dried (for at least 10 years).

 

I've totally no idea what brand or model this pen is.  But i think it is some chinese brand because it feels quite plasticky, and the nib just says simple "iridium point germany"

 

after a very long cleaning, I inked it up and it actually writes quite well.  I tried searching using google lens, but I didn't find any matches from the result.  Anyone can help identify this pen?  or maybe which well known brand/model that this pen is aspired by (read: imitate)?

I can't help you with any concrete answers, but I searched "vintage blue iridium point germany" on ebay and came across what looks like your pen. Perhaps you could ask the seller for more info.

 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/184651239181

 

Title there says "Iridium Point Fountain Pen Germany Medium Nib Blue Marble and black". Brand: "Unbranded", material: "Plastic", nib material: "Stainless Steel", country/region of manufacture: "Germany", price: 30.83usd, sold from Morocco.

addendum:

Oh, and maybe the style is inspired by Parker Duofold? Not sure, I'm new to fountain pens.

oh wow, thanks for the search, the pen in your link I think its the same pen as mine.  only the Nib seems slightly different - the one on ebay has a little extra engraving beside the simple wording.

 

still, it's strange a pen made in germany would have "unbranded"??  this makes me more affirmed by original thought that this might be of chinese origin.

 

I'll try to msg the ebay seller and see what info he/she'll offer.

It is a cheap Chinese pen.

You can search the forum about nibs branded like your, coming from china and branded iridium point Germany.

Maybe try posting again in the "China, Korea and Others (Far East, Asia)" sub-forum? There are some very knowledgeable members post there and even though it has been a little quiet lately, I expect someone will see your pictures and be able to help.

 

And welcome to the FPN as well. :W2FPN:

 

 

Will work for pens... :unsure:

      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
