Advice on vintage Onoto nib sizes and interchangeability?
velox brunneis vulpes posted a topic in Fountain & Dip Pens - First Stop
Dear fellow FPNers, I have recently acquired 2 vintage Onoto plunger fillers, a model 3000 with a No.3/ST nib, and a model 6000 with a No.3 nib. Could someone please let me know if the nibs are interchangeable? And what does the "ST" on the No 3/ST stand for? I look forward to your feedback Thanks in advance! Best, J- 1 reply

I have recently acquired this Onoto pen. I cannot make head or tail of its filling mechanism, nor which model of Onoto it is. The barrel imprint reads: 'ONOTO THE PEN' 'DE LA RUE LONDON'. The large nib is a number '3' 'De La Rue London'. The material is black plastic with a light wavy pattern. The cap fits rather than screws to the barrel. All parts appear to be original though I cannot be sure if a cap clip was once present. Measurements: Overall length: 137mm Length Uncapped: 132mm Barrel: 10mm wide The grip section does not unscrew from the barrel like an eyedropper or lever filler, and the at the rear of the barrel there does not appear to be a blind cap. Is this a dip pen? I have never seen an Onoto in this configuration. Any help greatly appreciated

Can anyone tell me anything about this pen? It's got an Onoto De La Rue number 3 nib and the pen itself is silver hallmarked to 1936 and stamped DLR Ltd. Piston filler. The cap is missing its clip and some sort of cap band.
