OK.
Here is pic of the pen (limited shot, as I'm traveling and don't have
my light kit with me)
For comparison. Here is what I expect from orange (coral red) plastic
from SHeaffer in the 1920's.
GF Trim. Presence of cap-band. Usually 3-25 model (early ones were 46
Special).

This pen however, of about same diameter as the 3-25, is shorter than
the long clip pen, it is bandless with a single thin groove in the
cap. The trim is chrome tone , not GF. The section and nib suggest
1935+ ish styling, whilst the barrel suggest earlier issue, though I
can imagine how the early and late mesh and in any case the date of
the section assembly is less key to what is interesting about the pen.
Anyway, here i the new pen. I don't recall it being catalogued. Info
of course welcomed.
