I was told that flexible Endura nibs are quite uncommon at least.

WAHL, WATERMAN and CONKLIN (USA "Big Five")
Recently, I found this Conklin Endura in a thrift shop. It's 13.5cm caped.
![28497646222_270897ea8b_b.jpg](https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7649/28497646222_270897ea8b_b.jpg)
What's the correct term for this size, is it OS or Senior? I found both on the internet. (It is not a long cap version).
Is it common that the pen is lacking any imprints? Only the nib says Conklin Endura. It's not a crescent nib. It's a huge heart hole nib which is extremely flexible, maybe a wet noodle.
And could the manufacturing date of 1926 be correct?
Thanks for your help?

it's lovely indeed. I have never seen such nice RMHR before.
And the size is quite large. made another picture for comparison side by side of a RHR Duofold:

I'd be most interested if you come across any Richard or Morges pens in your travels Christof
Yes, Richard Morges can be found here in CH. These are not uncommon pens. Richard was a stationery shop at Morges in the French part of CH. I am not convinced that they produced own pens. I rather think they sold pens only but under their own name. But this belongs to a seperate thread...

Here comes another mini collection of mine. Although, the original project was a bit different…
I wanted to reconstruct this pamphlet/leaflet as a photography with real pens. But the plan failed. I did not find an original leaflet (as background) and not all the needed pencils.
But here is what I have done:
I only got the Senior pencil. The picture of the Junior pencil is just scaled down to the right size.
But instead of the pencils, I added a Duofold Special and a Senior Deskpen which are much more interesting than the pencils in my eyes. And I turned the background into a chamois color to fit the original leaflet.
All in all, I am quite happy with the pic. What do you think?
