Inquiry on hero pen

[jiashern]

Hi all,

I am desperately finding for a shanghai made hero pen which has a bent up nib. Its nib is design as such to vary the thickness of the line as the pen is turn to different angle. May I know what is the name of the model and where can i find it??

 

thank you so much for anybody who happen to read this. thank you!

I think you're looking for the Hero 245 or a nib like it, right?

 

Those are really hard to find. Try searching for "Hero Calligraphy Pen" I know there is a cheaper version that I saw in shops in japan, I just can't remember what it was called.

 

Sailor makes a very similar pen, Here's one from Ebay, a seller I've used before:

 

If you get one in Japan, it will cost you about 2300Y. I have one in the clear long brush body and I use it often. It's a nice fude.

There is supposedly a shop in Punggol Plaza that sells Heros(see here). You could try and see if they what they want.

Gee, that looks very similar to a pen I dropped point-first onto the tile floor.

 

(Obviously, it's not, as the pen you show pictures of has an extra-long nib to allow the bending.)

If it's the Hero calligraphy pen, Todd Nussbaum sells those on his www.isellpens.com site. You might check there.
