This is a c. 1915 sterling silver covered hard rubber eyedropper fountain pen with a hand engraved peony (botan 牡丹) design. The base of the cap and the barrel are hallmarked SILVER. The clip is a slip over type made of 18 karat rolled gold plate, marked RK18. The clip is similar to a Waterman design, and may be copied from it. The nib is a 14 karat gold semi flex stamped WARRANTED over 14K over GOLD PEN over IRI. NIBS. The nib stamping is typical of early Japanese gold nibs, dating it earlier than 1937. It may be the original nib, though nibs could be changed on pens over their life. The pen is a standard eyedropper type that is filled by removing the nib section and dripping ink into the barrel. It’s 5 5/8 inches long capped.

These Maruzen pens were the first Japanese pens I have seen with a direct copy of a Sheaffer Triumph nib, but they were not alone. There are Navy brand and several unbranded pens with similar conical nibs. These post World War II Athena pens are examples of Maruzen’s return to making quality pens. One line is clearly inspired by mid 1940s Sheaffer Triumph fountain pens to the degree that they have a similar conical nib, ribbed nib section, and balance shape. They look like Japanese Sheaffer pens in the same way that many other companies copied Parker 51s. The second Athena line has a cap and barrel shape and style more like the 1940s Parker Duofold, though without the striped plastic. Removing the cap reveals the same Sheaffer Triumph style nib and section as on the balance shape pens.
