Curious nib on a 4853

January 9

Can anyone school me on this nib. By looking through this forum I have discovered that this is a French JIF 4853 circa 1947/53. The nib however seems quite unusual, the initials are PF and it has crossed nibs. It's 18k and I have no idea if it's original or a replacement. Any info would be welcome.

I have that exact design on a Bayard Le 4. P F might refer to Panici Frères.

@senzen Thanks Senzen. Following your input I have done a little research and it all ties up. Could not find a huge amount but what I did was of interest. The nib logo appears to have been common to all the Bayard pens.

I bent mine without meaning to, while inking, 18c is really soft; somehow managed to revive it. Mine is an accordeon filler with a clear button and a blind cap, big pen with small nib.
