Help Identify Vintage Pen Logo

[yamaha_no_46]

Hi FPN members,

 

I have seen a vintage pen recently with a brass logo on the cap dome which I could not identify. It is a cigar shaped pen made of striated material. The logo looks like the attached image. Does anybody recognize the pen company using this logo? Sorry for my ugly drawing.

 

Many thanks in advance.

Drawing and description remind me of Diplomat, if wrong someone else will correct me...

The Diplomat logo is more similar to a flower with rounded points.

Thank you so much! It is a Diplomat. Look at the engraving on this nib. It seems the logo was changed into the rounder shape later.

My two Diplomat have that logo on the top of the clip and they are not rounded at all... cigar shape and striated..

very similar to some Osmia, Faber Castell and Geha...

Glad you found out what it was...

I have the following pictures of the pen. It looks like the nib will definitely need replacement. With a little tlc it could become a decent pen again. I assume it is a piston filler. But the seller is asking approx US $100 for it and I really wonder if it will worth the money. Since you have similar Diplomat pens, I would like have your opinion.

 

Thank you for your interest. It is much appreciated.

It is not a difficult pen to find but you have to look for it, I do not see them often.

As far as your images show the nib needs cleaning, some polishing in the band and clip...

maybe filling system restoration but the price is worth it, i would certainly buy it...

All the best

+1 on that.

Definitely a Diplomat and one of the nicer models they made. (60's?) Sure worth a serious restoration.

You'd be surprised how that nib will clean up. As long as the tipping is there, no worries.

 

Beautiful pen, I'd drop a c-note on it. Go on.

Beautiful celluloid,...almost looks like Japanese "raden".
