Greetings, from Minnesota!

 

My name is Matthew, and yesterday i picked up a box of artifacts belonging to a U.S. Army Engineer who served in the Pacific Theater during World War II.

Inside the box were many captured Japanese items with one of those items being a pen!

 

The pen was wrapped up in cardboard with a label "Japanese Pen' written on the outside.

 

Attached below are some pictures showing what i found.

 

I'm looking for any information on this pen such as era, construction and if it's anything special.

 

Thank you,

 

-Matthew

The pen looks like it is made of a very nice celluloid. And it looks like a Japanese eyedropper filled pen. Because whatever is engraved on the nib and barrel look like Japanese, I would want to bet that the pen was produced during WW2. I don't recognize the logo, but maybe someone in/on the Japanese subforum would recognize it and even be able to read the script...

Hello Matthew and welcome to FPN, from Cape Town, South Africa.

 

Wow - what a fantastic find. Wish I could assist, but this is going to be a fantastic journey for you. Post on one of the sub-forums; I'm sure you will get a few answers there.

To sit at one's table on a sunny morning, with four clear hours of uninterruptible security, plenty of nice white paper, and a [fountain] pen - that is true happiness!
