Fountain Pen ID

[Mike8850]

A lady at my last had a fountain pen that needed repair but I don't recognize it.
Here's some pics the last one show the problem it looks like a broke converter or cartridge.
Appreciate any help or point me in the right direction



Thanks,
Mike

It looks like an Atrax to me. https://exoticblanks.com/search?q=atrax+fountain&_pos=3&_psq=Atrax&_ss=e&_v=1.0

Are there any identifying marks in the cap or on the nib at all? Is there a brass tube inside the cap or is it just material/plastic?

It looks like a Lamy style nib, but is not Lamy. My guess is that it is a Temu or Alibaba pen. I haven't seen any kits that use a Lamy style nib, but there may be something out there. Definitely not a standard Jowo, Bock, or IPG nib we typically see in kits.

Does not look like a kit pen with that clip. Maybe parts from a kit pen would work.

Thanks for the replies
It doesn't look like a kit pen
The fit and finish look real good
The cap snaps on


The only mark on the nib is EF which I think means extra fine
Only 3 dots on the clip
Here's another shot of the nib.
Thanks for the help

I don't know of a maker that uses 3 dots on the clip. Several Chinese manufacturers (such as Wing Sung) have made pens with the same "Lamy-style" nib,. Here's a thread on Reddit that mentions a few:

I hate to say it, but it's almost certain the cost of repair will exceed the cost of a replacement.

I have seen Jinhao pens with that clip. For example, the Jinhao x450 (pictured below) has a very similar clip. Jinhao now makes Lamy clones too, but I don't see that pen. As Duncan mentioned with the nib, there are probably several factories in China using the same clip.

Here is from Jinhao announcing what appears to be the same style nib:

I would look through Ali Express for Jinhao fountain pens with Lamy style nibs and see if you can find a match.

Ok. I'm sitting here while my son gets a haircut and I found it. $1.69 and it could be yours.

Thanks Mark that's the one.
The lady showed up at my last show and insisted that she bought the pen from me.
I was getting close to making her a new pen just to keep her happy.
Thanks to everyone that replied
