  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.
