Seriously? Man, I almost posted "If this isn't a Frankenpen, I'll eat my hat!" For once, I stayed my hand.Japanese called a Spors
Indeed! Made in Japan and marketed/sold as Spors in the US.

I've owned 2 w/ the crescent filler that were made from bamboo. My success rate for getting these opened up runs about 70/30 in favor of open. I have a few stray glass nibs if yours is damaged, let me know & I'll get one out your direction. Good luck, I hope you can get it open & restored. They are inexpensive but cool pens to use once in a while for a change of pace.

Thanks for all the information. Did the Conklin patent expire before these were made?
That likely wouldn't have made much difference to a manufacturer anywhere in Asia 50 years ago. Not a judgement, just an observation.

PS - I would also agree with Tim that patent issues with Conklin would be irrelevant to the Japanese producer.
