This rather unique and strange item looks to be a prototype of artpen or at least that is how it feels to me.
I don't recall any of artpen models had brass body like this.

Body seems to be in perfect shape of an artpen, so possibility that was handmade for fun seems rather small.
But white parts on top of the cap and on the bottom are obviously hand carved and not so precise.

Cap is marked with 1.9 and nib is 1.5 so that also show inconsistencies.

Rather remarkable find...I wish I knew more about the origin.

Lesser known rOtring series...do you know it?

Similar to 900 series but cheaper plastic version.
Pencils in Altro series were not side knock as 900 pencil.
I have seen Altro pencil available in pink, purple, white, orange and always in 0.7mm lead size.

Features automatic mechanism.

Usual version includes '0.7' written on them in black or white.

This one is rare without '0.7' writing, I like it so much better like this.

This beautiful fabric pouch is a complete mystery to me.

If anyone has any info about it would be most welcome.

-Full transparent demonstrator Initial pencil

The rOtring Initial is a distinctive line of writing instruments first launched in 1999.

Bridging the gap between the brand's inexpensive plastic models and high-end 800 series, it offered a more traditional but still uniquely curvaceous design.

Today, rOtring Initial series has a lot of secrets yet to be discovered.

Apart from usual black, silver and blue, there are also lost protoypes as part of opening production where rOtring experimented with different colors and materials.

Cool mix just arrived from Germany. With a gift of one telescopic esprit.

An amnesiac snowflake with a dry wit, Flake explores a frozen isle seeking clues. He is deeply curious and good-hearted, but don't test him—this witty ice-guy loses his patience fast when NPCs get annoying. Doing good deeds gives him "warm feelings" that literally start to melt him into water!

As known catalogs show the Rive model came out in 1995. but the actual patent was submitted back in 1992.
So it is not clear when it actually came to stores.

It was available as fountain pen and rollerball and also had very interesting spring display.
Fountain pens started in EF,F,M and B size. Later in 1996. 1.5mm size came out so it is rarer to find today.

Seems that Rive ended production in 1998. since there is no mention of it after 1997.

"SENSUAL ASSOCIATIONS - Rotring Rive
Unconventional, young and simply different.
Its organic form lies optimally in the hand for the writing with a sensory experience.
the material: high quality, shatterproof. Plastic. Particularly practical: the imaginative desk stand with a spring."

At similar time Rivette and Traxx series came out.

Very light beautiful pen.

Official found records only show black version but I have recently found blue, purple and many other versions that I presume were just prototypes and they are very rarely seen.
