It is a Namiki.
On the left is the artists signature: Senzan.
On the right is Namiki-bon, the company.

Congrats.

#4709 Help ID a vintage Maki-E pen.

Posted by stan on 22 February 2011 - 12:24 PM in OTHER EUROPEAN and ASIAN PENS

There are two similar pens (not the same design - similar in style of artwork and shape of pen) in the 1st edition of Nakazono's FPOTW, pages 120 and 121. Nakazono dates them as 1925 and 1922, respectively. Lambrou has a similar model on page 360. These predate Dunhill-Namiki and are some of the earliest makie pens made. Now the bad news. It appears the cap is a replacement. Makie pens invariably came with makie on the cap and barrel. Yours does not have a complementary, let alone any, design on the cap. As best I can tell from the photographs the sheen of the lacquer is different too.
