Wing sung 3003

 

Really like the body on this model , much better than other fountain pens .. Just feels more robust - stronger - not fragile at all .

The NIB on this one is NQR , but I tested it in anyways ..

 

Very scratchy , canted 45 deg right it became horrible , tore into the paper ...

Same thing using the pen inverted ...

 

Doing circles the pen ran dry on one side ...

 

24 Hours latter ..

It started fine , but I got out the 2000 wet and dry and started polishing the NIB ..

It did write better but was never really good ..

So I just kept polishing till I destroyed the NIB ...

 

I did have a spare nib , unfortunately it was another fine NIB so write scratchy , but I let this one be ...

Not sure the review is fair as the NIB was NQR , but hey , this is how it was sent to me ..

 

I really wish I could buy 0.7 NIB's , but I have ordered some spare NIBS ( medium I hope ) ...

Such a shame that a nice body is attached to a rubbish NIB ..

Did you check for tines misalignment before hitting the abrasive paper? Mine was scratchy and dry, but it was just a matter of tines misalignment and opening the tines at the tip a bit.

Yes , I polished to death because of the bent nib ..

I got it ok , but decided to just keep going ..

Really wanted to see what would happen if I went crazy ..

It got to a certain point , but never beyond to good .. Was acceptable I guess .. But hey , cheap pens are for learning !

I have ordered some nibs ( Medium ) , I am pretty sure this was a .38 NIB , so a .5 NIB could be sweet ?

      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
