Very Interesting, perhaps Stan of the Japanese pens forum has some clue.

[Soot]

Alright, who's bidding? :roflmho:

It just looks like someone installed a Pelikan nib on a Wallow pen.

A Pelikan nib with a JIS stamp.

I've never seen such a nib, not even on pens ostensibly destined for Japan. Hmmmm

[FPFan]

I have to ask. What is a JIS nib?

[Readymade]

The 'net provides - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Industrial_Standards

 

A made-in-Japan Pelikan nib? Most intriguing!

Is that an Arabic nib? It comes to a point from the top, but has quite a bit of depth so the horizontal line will be broader than the up and down lines.

Ron Dutcher lists a vintage Japanese company named Pelikan on his list of historical vintage Japanese manufacturers.

I would be interested to hear who (of you) bought the pen. It wasn't me, I didn't bid.

[christof]

Nobody? I can't believe that...

[Soot]

Guess not, Christof. I was tempted to bid though...

[christof]

Yeah, me too. But this was a little bit to special for me...I'm saving my pennies for rather common Pelikans

[Rick Propas]

I bid and lost
