Quite some time ago I had a large lot of these 3rd tier German school pens.
I sold most of them (here and on the Bay) but just a few were left.
Here is one of the last 2 pieces. (Ref #1)

Specifications:

Brand: ORIENTA
(Probably made by Certo, a predecessor of Reform pen's from Heidelberg, Germany in the mid 1950's)

Material: Barrel and cap are made of a black thermoplastic unknown to me (i't's not celluloid).Section and feeder are made of black ebonite. Clip and cap band are made of gold colored brass.

Nib: As the original nibs in these pens were of mediocre quality, I replaced them with some nice gold plated steel nibs with an Iridium F/M tip, writing smooth and medium wet. (see writing sample in the pictures)

Filling system: Cork sealed piston filler (Original cork, tested and OK).

Length capped: 123mm
Posted: 149mm
Without cap: 117mm
Width over barrel: 11,5mm
Over cap:13,1mm

The pen comes in its original cardboard box.
