I am "waiting" for a Jinhao 51A ! I can not find a U. S. dealer who plans to carry this pen. Don't like to order from over seas dealers. Can you help?

I'm still waiting for:

from La Couronne du Comte which has a habit of listing, and (fortunately) accepting orders for, items that it does not have in stock when there is some 20%-off site-wide promotion going on, which it then (unfortunately) cannot fill for many weeks. I've been advised that these will arrive in stock late® in January, but whether that happens awaits to be seen.

Then there are these, which have yet to be shipped by Pen Chalet.

 

And a bunch of cheap(er) Chinese pens I bought on eBay and AliExpress.

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

@Honeybadgers, vermillion (as in some Limited Edition model), or the standard maroon colour option for the Sailor?

I bought (and have received) six of those from AliExpress, when it was doing the 11.11 thing, but frankly I find the only-nib-size-available of 0.5mm to be too broad for my tastes. It's OK for some lighter colours, but that's about it.

I have a Faber-Castell Ondoro in the graphite finish with a B nib coming on Wednesday. I also ordered a PenBBS 355 bulk filler with M nib demonstrator. Not sure when that will show up from China.

the standard dark red - I was under the impression it was called vermillion, but correct me if I'm wrong, as you're much more in the know with regards to Japanese naming.

Maroon, then, if the model number is 11-3924-something.

Model name: 1911 REALO

Number: 11-3924

Colors: Black and Maroon

プロフィット レアロ 万年筆 [マルン]

(Purofittorearo man'nenhitsu [maru n] = Profit Realo fountain pen [maroon])

These are what I'd say have barrel colours closer to vermillion, even though Sailor may not name them for that:

My New Year’s gift to me is a Visconti Lava Bronze Age Oversized, with a 1.5 stub. I wrote with one having a broad nib at Columbus pen show. It haunted me since.

The pen writes super wet... Its my first MB.. is that usual? I wouldn't call it abnormal, just wet...

 

Quite rare for an EF to be so "flowy"

      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
