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 the second of the last 2 pieces. (Ref #2).
(The reason I made 2 different postings for these pen is that they are slightly different in form, specifically the top and end caps. Check & compare pictures of both if you like)
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). The 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.
Asking US$ 15,-- only for this cute pen.
Shipping is us $ 10,-- for unregistered no tracking standard priority lettermail, worldwide.
