What Is This Pen?

[Bunny_Police]

Hi guys,

I recently found this fountain pen, but I know nothing about it.

It seems to write very well, and I managed to fill it by pushing the end of it, and putting it in a bottle of ink to suck it up.

The nib is engraved with 'centropen', and it also has the numbers 1304 and 823 engraved on it too.

Does anybody know what type it is (model name perhaps), and approximately how much it is worth?

Well, it won't be available (online) for long to look at (if that one auction site only keeps 'em alive for 90 days after the end of the auction), but it seems to be a Barclay 1304 Aluminum Chased fp: http://item.ebay.com/221246998920

Eastern European ? It reminds me of my "no-name", all-plastic, piston fill pen from Germany DDR.

 

I hope you can get it into working condition. It's interesting.

You are right it seems to be a Barclay 1304.
