Namiki Pen Identification

[nibman_123]

Greetings everyone,

I have recently obtained this Namiki fountain pen

Can anyone help me identify this pen ? Is this a legitimate Namiki ?

I do not know much about fountain pens but I enjoy writing with them

 

Thanks in advance !

Hello.

 

It is very similar to the Pilot Fountain Pen Co.'s Granse.

The "G" logo on the nib matches.

Pilot fountain pen export models are often rebranded to Namiki.

According to the linked blog post, the Granse in the image was manufactured in November 1994.

A search may only finds the current model.

 

Additional explanation:

Please note that Pilot model names and Namiki model names can be different for the same fountain pen.
