Iridium point Germany only means someone bought the Iridium in Germany.

 

Could well be a Chinese pen...don't know. They like faking a German nib........once when the DM was low, Germany did make cheap Iridium Point Germany nibs......but that was a long time ago.

 

Is the pen metal??? Could be Chinese. Some of them are just fine....functions.

Oberthur is a French brand with calendars, diaries and other products as well as pens: https://www.oberthur.fr/7-ecriture

 

I know that some products are made in France but I am not sure about the pens; those might be outsourced. I have a few, and they're pretty well made, definitely a cut above Stypen and Creeks though not as nice as Jean Pierre Lepine (admittedly, at about half Lepine's prices).

Too many pens, too little time!
