I have one of the Viscoti Kawecos. The photo really doesn't do it justice; it's lovely material, one of the nicest of all the materials used by Kaweco.

What a lovely collection of Sports. (There must be a collective noun for them...)

Thanks. If the sun would ever come out, I’d get better pics...

"If the sun would ever come out." Yes, I know that feeling... still waiting :-)

The Kaweco pendant is replaced with a "Munchen" (Munich) one. Don't know if that was done by Kaweco, the vendor, or the original owner. 14k OF nib. $100

It's more likely to be from 1972. Kaweco did a set commemorating the 72 Olympics in Munich.
You don't show the chain and pendant, but it should have the Olympic rings on it.

The 70's and Olympic models were V16's. I have one with the Olympic pendant.

I suspect this was sold as a souvenir, alongside with magnets, spoons, etc... I see now that the pendant was mostly cropped out of the picture. It's a shield shaped pendant with a man in traditional german garb and "München" above him.
