Can someone help me identifying this pen, please?

[Jorge]

I have just acquired this nice pen but, unfortunately it shows no markings allowing its identification . The only clue that I can find is some sort of text (?) appearing as embedded in the body near the cap threads.

The pen capped measures 13.5cm and is quite well finished.

I have posted this request for help in this forum as it reminds me of some pens made in India, and some of the characters seem Hindi (?) to me, but I am not at all sure of that.

Hope the pictures are somewhat useful for identification purposes.

Thank you in advance.

What's the filling system?  Cartridge/converter, or eyedropper?  If it's an eyedropper, it's likely to be Indian made.

I received it with an empty international cartridge in it, but I think it could also work fine as an eyedropper

The part that's not covered in blue and tan swirls is puzzling.  And am I seeing some teeny numbers on the cap band?  A '5?'  Maybe that would help identify it.

Sorry, but I cannot see anything embedded in the cap bands. I see what you mean but it is a reflection I´m afraid.

doesn't look like Hindi to me. The nib looks like a Jowo and the material looks like a custom make, only few Indian custom artisans do Jowo, but I don't know anyone who offer this as standard design or material, maybe some others may help.

I have continued my investigations and I think I have solved the mistery: This pen belongs to a Fountain Pen collection, from publishing house Planeta-Deagostini, which was sold at press kiosks a few years ago. This precise model honours Van Gogh (the colours used really remind some of his paintings)

This leads to the conclusion that it is a chinese pen and, probably, made by Jinhao as some other models from the collection resemble several of their current models.

These are my conclusions and I think I can now close the issue of the identification.
