Hi Guys and Gals. I wonder if any of you can help in providing some information of this pen? The pen was shown to me recently by a retired Gentleman, who is a volunteer engineer at the local aircraft museum, in Newark on Trent. He has had this for a lot of years, residing in the back of a drawer, previously owned by another family member. The conversation pretty much came about by accident, as we usually talk about his fixing of vintage aircraft, but for some reason, I had just mentioned that I owned a few pens! I digress. On my next visit (which was last week), he had brought the pen in to show me, stuffed in his work overalls pocket… I had a look, and it is some sort of Onoto, with a number 3 nib. The body looks and feels like an acrylic material, but could be anything (not an expert in any way shape or form) with a well worn silver overlay. The filling mechanism seem jammed solid, the plunger was pulled gently until it stopped, which was not very far. No forcing, just moved so I could take a picture. I have looked over the internet, and multiple pages on FPN, but not managed to ID the pen, or get any ballpark date on it. I have no idea if it is valuable, or just worth a few pennies, but have advised that he takes it out of his coveralls and keeps it in some safer place for now! Many Thanks!
