Artpen brass prototype - Year: 1984
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.
