Familiar Logo On Nova Nib? Vincenza Guild Hallmark On 925 Cap

[Buzzie]

This has been in my collection for a few years, mostly overlooked. During a CUPUFU session (cleanup, polishup, fixup), I noticed a 925 stamp on cap, with guild *1776VI hallmark. Another tiny hallmark with letter "A" on cap. The nib has a logo that looks familiar, but I can't place it, along with Iridium point W. Germany, so it has been around a while. Does anyone recognize tha logo on the nib? I'm drawing a blank. Hope the photos help.

Well the nib looks very Hero-like.

It's a chrysanthemum, indicative of a Chinese-manufactured nib. A lot of generic made-in-Germany clones that are really made in China feature the "mum".

Aloha and many thanks. I'll remember the tip. By the way, I am enjoying the "mum" nib. Fortunately, it is a good one thus far.

I've got two or three generic Chinese IPG nibs, and they are all nice writers. Of course I've trashed about nine or ten that weren't...
