    I am not finding much about this. There is a lot online about Magnusson look-alike.
    This might be a genuine one? Rare?
    It is 8" long with inlay and stamped on the bottom.

    I'm not familiar with the brand, but it is an oblique pen-holder, for writing calligraphy. It's jutted out and angled like that so that the writer can produce the classic slopes and loops of roundhand script without having to twist their arm around.

    Don't see any real clues as to age, unfortunately.

    If you don't get an answer here, Mikey, check the fountain pen network. A lot of knowledgeable people there and I saw some Magnusson threads:

    Thank you all very much. I am not finding much but prices are through the roof.
    $2500 for a pen? Another sold for 500.

    Me either. And it was cheap. I hope it is authentic.

    $2,500 for THAT is certainly way too expensive.

    Thank you for identifying what type of pen that is. I have one but never researched it. Good luck with yours. Mine is shorter I recall. Will have to dig up

    Why does that black square "Antiquers Daily" come wp everytime I click on a new item in my email" It is sure annoying! But, back to the pen, the Richards-DAR House Museum is looking for a real antique pen from the 19th century or Victorian period before 1870. We cannot find anything but new repros unless they cost a fortune--we do not necessarily need a 14K or 24K one, just a nice wooden one in any color.
