How do the Bismark pens perform? Do they write well? And do the converters function okay?

It's harder than 75 but writes well.

The converters made of something like silicone rubber,it can work for many years.

Another version called Bismarck 175 which was patterned after parker 61.

And many people in Taiwan think 175 is better than 61.

But they still think 51 is No.1.

I suspect this pen is Chinese, not German.

You are wrong.

The pen was made over 30 years.

Ans the brand disappeared for many years after ball point pens become popular.

The parker 75 is too expensive to afford for normal public in Taiwan in past.

So many Taiwanese trafficker order from W.Germany.

These brands include TELEX,Bismarck,Ortho,SKB.

And other brands only order nibs from W.Germany include MINKA,Zola,ect.

Perhaps, though, for example, some Telex components were made in Taiwan and the pens were assembled there starting in the late 1950s.

You are right.

The nib no doubt is made in W.Germany because there's no such high-tech and cost in Taiwan in past.

It's very possible that the Taiwan factories make parts of pen by themself for cost down.

But the nib must not be made by China,we prepare to war with them everyday in that moment.

Another brand called ERO is the same way.

You can still buy NOS of their fountain pens now.

But they were made over 30 ,40 years.

ERO must be a copy of HERO which makes copies of the P51 and 61.
