Can Anyone Identify This Pen

[huskeymaniac]

Got this pen at an estate sale. Cannot identify the manufacturer but it needs a new nib section. See photos attached. Any help would be appreciated.

Not sure that you need a new nib section. Looks like all you need is a new nib. And I think this pen is a Chinese made pen of some sort, but I'm pretty ignorant about Chinese pens so can't be more specific. I'm sure someone else will chime in...

Your pen is the Saturn model from Minka, a company in Taiwan. These are most commonly seen with a satin silver color finish. The Saturn is made of metal, somewhat heavy, and very sturdy. Minka made a matching rollerball. The Saturn doesn't show on the Minka site currently but if you Google "Minka fountain pen" and look at the images search result, you can see several photos of this model. There's also an old FPN thread on this model which shows photos of several Saturn models; the thread is https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/107252-alibi-killer-projectile/
