Astoria *Mercedes* 14 K no. 4 size nib, similar to Astoria subbrand nibs

Wonderful German safety with the typical style of safety, as it was made in Germany, especially by Montblanc and Astoria. This one here in all dimensions and threads is similar to an Astoria make - but i am not 100% sure, if its really made by Astoria. However, nib is the same style, you find in Astoria subbrand pens. . . .
