I have bought 2 of these pens over the course of the last 8 months from xiongfu1990 eBay store. They were listed as: HOT! HUA HONG Famous Style 22KGP Nib Iridium Fountain Pens.HH-8. I bought these pens following a suggestion found in a post by Bobje, who is currently Moderator of the China Far East Asia FPN sub-forum.



At present I cannot track these pens down on eBay. Sorry I could not help more.

Ranger, that's one of the issues with Hua Hong pens -- we've only found one distributor, xiongfu1990 on eBay, and they emerge only a couple per week.

I would like a Hua Hong too at some point but struggled to find one. Not too bothered though as apart from the blatantly fake 18k GP on the nibs, I agree with the writer on how smooth they are. For a pen that costs under £2 to one's door from China it is unbeatable. I did a nib convertion on one of my X750s to a Stainless Steel Bock fine nib. It writes niceky but I actually think that the Jinhao nib writes smoother on the paper. I have not taken the plunge on a Kaigelu yet as have heard criticism about them being weighty and top heavy. I will stick to my Jinhao workhorses I think.

 

Only pen from China that has been a disappointment was a "rare" 1990s black Wing Sung 590. It stank: a kind of mildewy smell and the gold finish was poor. It writes ok though and it was only a few quid. Pens have definitely come a long way there if that was the norm 20 years ago.

i remember when isellpens.com (no affiliation) use to sell Dukes, Hua Hong, Dinuoyang, Haolilai, Fuliwen (forgive me if i misspelled any names)... they are now soooo hard to find. i'm glad i was able to acquire some of these back when. i even bought Hero's with 10, 12 or 14k nibs that i would say are semi-flex (even tho some might call them just "springy"). i don't think Todd's site is up anymore. oh, the good old days!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
