Just wondering if anyone might have any specifics on this company and/or set. Just received it today and didn't expect it to be a ladies/demi pen. Very small but still love it. If posted it is just inside my minimum size requirements for comfortable writing.

Hi Ray,

 

I have never heard of the brand.  Does it have markings to suggest manufacture outside USA?

I have a similar pen, as I told Ray elsewhere. Can't take a pic of it right now, but the differences are a thinner striated green, along with a 'framed' style nib that I've only seen on a pen marked "Gregg": a steel mask or band around the edge of a (thin) gold nib. The barrel imprint on my pen is *very* clear:

I'll try to take some pics next week when home. Been a good show, just in one day, more to come!

I don't know much but I found this VicatPen at a flea market. Nice writer.
