Wing Sung 233

I've just seen some photos of the Wing Sung 233 at hisnibs.com. It is a striking-looking pen at an astonishingly low price. My experience with the Hero 100 has been so positive, I wonder if this brand of Chinese pens is also as good.

Yes, IMHO if not better! I have used both varieties in my school days in 70's and early 80's. Still I have two 233s, which I use in rotation.

If you liked the look, do not hesitate!

A word of causion, it writes very fine and stiff. Ink made by Waterman or Quink will write better than modern thicker inks!

Thanks,

I did a search in the pen review section and came up with nothing so if you buy one please let us know what you think.

Got one from the same source (I actually have several WS's from Norman). Very wet line. My one gripe being that the cap on mine is prone to coming off when the pen's in my pocket. Nothing like that thrill of reaching in and removing a penless cap.

 

It's also a little stubborn on starting flow on a cold morning.

 

Then again, so am I.

 

Still, for the price, it works pretty well.
