While I did make mention of this offer in another posting, I thought that it would get more attention if posted separately.

Nice photo. It looks exactly like my yellow ABS plastic 599. Do you actually have possession of the metal body Jinhao 599 ? Such a pen should last 50 years. I look forward to your evaluation of this metal body 599.

 

Thanks.

I have a metal 599 and 4 plastics in various colors/transparencies. I prefer the plastic as being a better use of material to the design.

I have several metal versions and have found, when compared to the plastic, that they are very slightly heavier. The chief virtue of the metal 599 is the nib's interchangeability with Lamy's. And so, the purchase of a 599 might be an inexpensive way to obtain a fine or medium nib for your Lamy.

Today, 7/24, I again looked at the eBay offering of three metal-version 599's and found they are no longer free of shipping charges. It had been a real bargain when the three pens were sold for less than $5 and with free shipping. Methinks the vendor woke-up and realized there was no or little profit to be made without charging for shipping.

 

How many of us did take advantage of the original offering? I'I think that we'd all be be interested to know. So, come forward and admit to being a sharp buyer!
