Pen ID please possible LUS pen

[Gadget]

I have been trying to ID this pen, it is not in my posession but the images of the pen were supplied showing a Sheaffer nib, i assumed the inlay top was actaully under the barrel but it turns out the images were incorrectly supplied, after some excellent help in the Sheaffer section and some digging i have narrowed the pen down to LUS.. but which LUS pen is it .. a possible example pen or travelling sales pen perhaps ??

  I know nothing about Italian pens, but that hood looks so pretty, and the cap also.

Well i did some more research... or should i say, a heck of a lot more searching, using your comments from previous and eveyone elses thoughts and i ( Think ) it is Italian.. and i ( Think ) it is LUS and maybe Atomica of some sort... i did find an exact match of the nib section on (some for sale website in Italy but the cap was described as non original and different and it was basicaly in bits) no i remember now, it was worthpoint showing an older ebay listing but as i dont subscribe i couldnt find out the cost of there version

 

That is about as far as i have got so far, so i thought i might pop a question in the Italian section to see if any of the Italian experts had some thoughts

Why should it be a LUS, when it is indicated Universal ?

Also the VV on the clip lookk similar to other Universal clips.

I'm not expert of those 2 brands, but it does not look a LUS to me.

I have been round the Google for a few hours, reading and looking and searching, it does say Universal, correct but then i happened on this thread

https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/79811-lus-atomica-and-aqua-pen-fill-them-with-water-and-will-write-with-ink/

So it is fair to say... it fits somewhere in a lineup of manufacture pens and or parts but which ones exactly is proving so far elusive

 

also on this website, the Pens do show a striking resemblance to the ( Universal ) pen in the pictures

And just to note, searching using the term " Universal fountain pen" fair to say does not go well

 

and i have now found that there are 2 Universal pen companies, 1 Italian, 1 Usa, and there were examples of nibs being shared between the 2 companies although both seperate in there own right, old threads on the board contain some info but alas not all images are available today

Sorry, Im missing the connection between the page you linked and your pen.

For me there is no correlationn within your pen and LUS, and your pen is jus simply an "UNIVERSAL" as the pen is marked.

You can find more informations about the brand Universal in the following page, which you can translate in english via google translator:

In the case of your pen, the logo printed is that one uf Universal Spa, the last of the Universal listed.

Also the V on the clip look similar to that one of the picture.
