    Default Hello! And can anyone help identify this pen? Marked "Paris" but unclear otherewise.

    Hello,
    I am a minor collector of fountain pens, but a passionate appreciator. I was recently in Paris and impulse-bought a pen that the shopkeeper told me was one of the last from a series that the manufacturer was making, that it was a custom variation made at the request of the shop. I was so seduced by how well the nib wrote that I didn't notice how weird the grip is, as if they cobbled together a great nib and great barrel with a grip that feels like it's not meant to be there. The cap notes it is a "Modele Recif Depose" and the nib says "Recif Paris." When I look it up online none of them have this odd grip. What is going on here?

    As the guy said, something requested by the shop as an exclusive variation.

    There is one on eBay with the same metal-covered section at https://www.ebay.com/itm/Recife-dePo...n/323652182858, but that listing adds no information about the model.
