Ok guys, coming here first because B&B is my go to site these days. Never really been in to pens well because my handwriting is horrid (cue the medical field). I received a PIF one day with a hand written note telling me to enjoy my PIF. At the bottom it was noted what ink and pen the fine gentleman used. I thought it was neat.
Some time went by still not really thinking to much about it. I have seen this subforum, still really not much thought went in to it. Well, last weekend I went home and was cleaning up some stuff in my old room back home because at the end of the year I am going to be getting my old bedroom suit when I move, by the way I do not live that close to home anymore. Basically just preparing it to be loaded and moved when the time comes.
As I was cleaning and going through stuff I found an old fountain pen that I do remember getting when I was in high school. I'm pretty sure it was at a store like Office Depot. I can't for the life of me figure out what brand it is. Looking through the internet for the past hour or two I think it might be a Montblanc (basically just going off of designs). There is no indication of what brand this could be and the only engraving is on the NIB stating "Irodium Point Germany." So after looking up and figuring this was the closest design I was amazed at the prices of the Montblanc pens, thinking no way my dad would have spent this much on the pen.
This is what I can remember of the pen:
Would have been bought late 90's, 2000, 2001
Would have been bought at a store, not a pen store, but some place like, if not, Office Depot
Would not have been very expensive know my dad, around the $50 mark, but more than likely much lower
No sign of branding anywhere, but the style seems to fit the Montblanc the closest
I do not think it is a knock off of whatever brand it maybe, since internet shopping was not big then, atleast to us none or very little if at all.
Here are the pics of the pen, any help will be appreciated from a fellow wet shaver:
My intentions are not to sell this pen, really just see if anyone around this fine forum has any idea what it is. I plan on trying to get some ink and firing this baby up. Suggestions on a solid ink will help too. Last think I can think of is on the plastic side of the behind the NIB with the ribs (feed maybe?) is a number 7 on it.
Thanks!
Edit: Sorry about the lack of quality in the pics, thats why I tried to describe the finer areas in more detail. Only have an Iphone and its better than the 1 digital camera I do have. May by my next investment.
