Just released on Taobao, and apparently can be found on ebay too.

Four varieties right now: Gold color trim w/12k Gold Nib, Silver color trim w/12k Gold Nib, Gold color trim w/Gold Plated Steel Nib, Silver color trim w/Steel nib. Steel fude nib in the future. Also source on the Chinese board says there is a Vacumatic version that is being developed.

Oooh! Gimme gimme!

 

Edit: I'm a bit annoyed over the Parker style clip though. Apart from looking a bit odd on this pen, it is a bit silly that when they managed to not outright copy an entire design, it seems they still feel they just need to plagiarize *something*

I just ordered one from eBay. Oh wow they're gorgeous and I can't wait to see it in person! I wish shipping from China didn't take so long. :(

I wish they hadn't copied the Parker clip too. :o Otherwise I like the look of the pen. :) (Personally I wouldn't want it as a vacumatic.)

I think I'm in the minority but I actually like the Parker-esque clip. Yea, it's a pretty blatant knockoff and I don't think that's right but dangit....IT LOOKS AWESOME!

Same, I like the Parker type clip. It's the same as on Parker frontier that I have. Also the hooded nib looks nice. Going by my past experience of Chinese hooded steel nib, I'll definitelbuy it.

Plus it's 12$ or something on eBay.

 

Sad part, it doesn't ship to India.

Waiting for some seller to add on aliexpress

I might consider buying one if they come up with a non demonstrator and hopefully give us a more elegant clip ( Say the more traditional Wing Sung clip like the one on their 2100 ). it's also interesting that they name the pen that ( if you know Chinese, then you know what I mean )

So at the rate I'm currently learning, I might be able to figure it out in about forty years :-)

Just noticed this on Ebay.

Interesting that Chinese pen makers have turned to piston-fill models.

Look forward to first-hand reports.

Very nice looking pen. Not on Aliexpress yet. Will get one or two. Just wonder what kind of ink they use in the photo.

I guess just copying the clip from Parker wasn't enough, so they copied a Lamy Safary box as well.

      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
