After a recent run-in with a few of my fellow collectors; I became the owner BCHR telescoping safety pen. The imprint "hetko" is all that might help us identify it. The only other mark is 4F on the knob to telescope the nib. My guess is an early German pen. The nib is a Warranted, and says "14c-585 1 QUAL."

The feed looks similar to an earlier Montblanc feed. Can you take the feed out and show us the top part?

Do you need me to pull the feed out? Let me know. In the meantime...

The top part is similar but not identical. Here are some pictures of a MB 25 Push button Filler feed for comparison. Unfortunately I can't help you further.

One more apart.

Yup, this is a german safety pen. It looks like the company made both pens and inks, here's a vintage ad for Hetko ink  (linked for reference only). Looks like an interesting and very well made pen, kinda like a german Carters Inx.
