    Default Identify this pen

    Anyone ever seen one of these guys? Got it from an online estate sale thinking it was a pelikan but turns out it’s just a replica. Body seems cheap, the plating on the trim is low grade. The nib, however, was surprisingly snappy and has great flex. I was surprised because the nib is quite stubby, but this little guy can really flex it out. The picture shows the pen and I drew out the stamped emblem. Also, the nib tines seem to be really shifted over (you can also see that in my illustration) it may just be a bad grind, but the feed channel also seems to follow the same shift After some smoothing and polishing it’s a actually really smooth cursive italic grind.
    Anyways, I got the pen for $40 thinking it was a pelikan so I just want to know how bad of a deal I got

    Possibly a Reform pen.
    The nib was made by Degussa who made nibs for many of the pen manufacturers of the time.

    As whych said itˋs a German Degussa nib.
    I’ve no idea which manufacturer made the pen.

    Alone with the vintage Degussa Gold nib you did nothing wrong buying it for 40$.
    And if the pen is in working condition even better.

    Side note:
    I own a vintage Degussa steel full flex nib which is one of my best flex nibs.

    Clip reminds me of Geha.... I have strong inclination for German pens.
    The pen is nice, the nib is superb, a win win here
