The Elkro 75 nib appears to be of Czech origin. I cannot find any information about it.
From the markings:
- I have guessed that „ELKRO” is the name of the manufacturer. But it could just as easily be the type of nib--much the way that Esterbrook named its famous 048 nib the "falcon" and its 442 nib the "Jackson." I cannot find any Czech words similar to Elkro, so I think it's either the manufacturer or someone's name.
- PRAŽSKÉ BANKOVNÍ PERO translates to Prague Bank Pen. Since many manufacturers produced a nib called a "bank pen," and since I find very few instances of a manufacturer simply taking the name of a town, "e.g., Prague," I have guessed that Prague Bank Pen is the manufacturer's description of the nib.
- P.B.P. - is almost certainly the initials of Prague Bank Pen
- Č. 75 ZJ - Č is the abbreviation for Number, meaning that this is nib No. 75. I have guessed that ZJ are the Czech initials for the nib point, similar to EF for Extra Fine.
