W.K. Germany - looking for historical information

[DrBlues]

Hi, I just received this German made vintage pen that was labeled as W.K. brand by the seller.

Features - standard built in piston filler with plastic piston head, standard Bock nib (gold colored steel, labeled "Iridium Point"),

general shape and build (cap and clip style) looks to me like 1950's or early 1960's.

 

The seller has no other information to give me.

I am wondering if anyone out there has any information?

The seller should be able to tell you why the pen was labelled "W.K." Your pen has design similarities to the 1960s economy pens made by Ero. But Ero pens were marked as such on the clip and nib. Many of these German economy/school pens, including the no-name pens, were very well build and durable (except for the gold plating on cap bands and clips).

Thank you for the new information!
I have an Ero pen, I will compare them side by side.
I have a number of different "economy" or "basic" level German pens in my collection,

and as you say, pretty much all of them are very well made and work fine to this day.

I have quite a few nice Senator pens, a few Geha, Wende, a few unidentified - possibly old Senators, Eschaco, Referent, a number of Reform, and one called Penat that I really love.
I also have a large number of vintage Kaweco pens, and have been hunting for some of the antique models for a number of years. Most of the older ones - 1930's and 1940's arrive with  non-original cheap nibs, and many of them require serious refurbishing, which I am trying to do on my own.
Not to mention major German brands like Pelikan, Faber-Castell, Lamy, etc. that I also have in my collection...
