Namiki Identification Help

[Mr_PFM]

Saw this for sale but can't seem to find much information on the model or when it was made. The crest looks similar to certain Namiki's I've seen from the 90's but I can't recall know the artist name (and my guess is this was made before the 90s). If you have any information this pen please share

 

I know it's a geisha but that's about it.

Definitely not a Namiki.

 

1950s jumbo (large) pen with decoration. Cannot read the nib. Likely gold wash - very light coat of gold color. I call them souvenir pens. It's a nice one. Artwork mostly screened. Might have some hand work.

 

Many such pens were made by smaller shops. No way to identify maker unless you can find a very similar pen with very similar design that has a makers name on the barrel. And, that would be guessing and would be totally meaningless.

 

Nice souvenir. If interested in collecting they show up on ebay once in awhile. Yahoo Japan too. An affordable collection can be put together with some effort.

How interesting, thanks for letting me know. There's a seller on ebay atm trying to pass this off as a vintage namiki. I asked for a closeup photo of the nib but I doubt they'll respond.

If it is a classic Namiki, should have signature. Nibs can be changed.
