  1. Hi all, I am posting this thread to see whether anyone else recognises the logo on the nib of my late 1950s Geha 700 Schulfüller: The logo to which I am referring is the sun disk with 12 ‘rays’ on it, near the grip-section. None of other Geha 700s that I have seen in photographs have had this, 12-rayed, sun logo. I wonder whether it might indicate something about the nib, e.g. nib width, grind-shape, or degree of hardness/flexibility. This nib is a gold-plated steel nib. It is, as is correctly indicated on the pen’s piston-turning knob, an ‘FK’ nib - an ‘F’ nib with ‘kugel’ (ball) tipping. It produces a mono-width line, unlike many German nibs of the 1950s, which often had very ‘flat’-shaped tipping, and produce a ‘cursive italic’ line. In terms of flexibility, this nib is slightly ‘springy’, or ‘bouncy’; it is not, by any means, a ‘flex’ nib. It is slightly less ‘bouncy’ than is the steel ‘F’ nib on my Pelikan M205 from 2012, or the 14k gold ‘M’ nib on my Pelikan M400 from the 1990s (1991-97). It is much less ‘bouncy’ than is the 14k gold ‘F’ nib on my 1954 Pelikan 400, which nib has one of the flat-tipped ‘cursive italic’ grinds on it. So, has anyone seen this ‘12-rayed sun’ logo on another Geha nib before? Does anyone recognise/know that it signifies anything, or what the different logos ‘mean’? My thanks to you in advance for any answers. Slàinte, M.

    A photo to show the 12-rayed sun logo on the gold-plated steel nib of my Geha 700 Schulfüller from the late 1950s. I have uploaded this photo to see if anyone else has a Geha nib with the same logo on it - I wonder whether the number of ‘rays’ on the disk of the sun may indicate anything e.g. nib size, shape, or degree of hardness. This nib is an ‘FK’ - an ‘F’ nib with a ‘kugel’ (ball) tipping, as opposed to the flat, ‘cursive-italic’ tipping shape of many German pens of the 1950s. The gold plating has nearly all worn off this nib now, but (in 2024) the nib still works beautifully. This nib is slightly ‘springy’, or ‘bouncy’. It is by no means a ‘flex’ nib; being slightly less ‘bouncy’ than is the steel ‘F’ nib on my Pelikan M205 from 2012, or the 14k gold ‘M’ nib in my Pelikan M400 from the 1990s (1991-97).

    Geha 700 Schulfüller nib

    From the album: Mercian’s pens

    A photo of the gold-plated steel ‘FK’ nib on my Geha 700 Schulfüller from the late 1950s. Almost all of the gold plating has worn off the nib, but (in 2024) it still works beautifully. It is slightly ‘bouncy’ or ‘springy’; not by any means a ‘flex’ nib. It is slightly less ‘bouncy’ than is the steel ‘F’ nib on my Pelikan M205 from 2012, or the 14k gold ‘M’ nib on my 1990s (between 1991 & 1997) Pelikan M400.
