Partially Identifyable Older Chinese, Japanese, Korean And Hong Kong Pens

Hello All,

 

I need some help from some of our Oriental pen manufacturer gurus.

 

I recently acquired a NOS fountain pen from one of my contacts in China. Unfortunately, sometimes the language barrier gets in the way.

 

I bought a beautiful aerometric fountain pen circa 1997. Its a Chinese/Hong Kong event pen. I can find no Stamps other than 9771, two Chinese characters on the central band, and a very small almost undecipherable logo on the pocket clip.

 

Both Wing Sung and Hero used the Chinese characters sometimes instead of their logos.

 

So what do you all think? Is it Wing Sung, Hero, or another brand?

 

Thanks in advance for your help. 😊

Many chinese fountain pen producers use Chinese characters instead of a logo so some pictures would be helpful .

I love Fountain Pens, with hooded nib in the classic style, Parker 51/61 type .

pretty much almost all traditional Chinese fountain pen Mfrs use their name as a type of identification on their pen , it was just like Parker putting the name Parker on their pen .. nothing special there .. and well so many of them had a 2 character name its impossible to tell unless we had a photo to decipher ; so Pic pls

Hi All.

 

First I would like to thank the members who responded to my query. I have since had the pen translated and it is a Xi Shan 9771.

 

I have been doing regular searches for this pen manufacturer, and can find no information on the company.

 

Is anyone familiar with it?

 

Since the pen seems to be an enigma, and is NOS, I don't plan to ink it but to put it directly into my rare pen collection. (Yes I know it's one of those dreaded Oriental fountain pens, but many write superbly.)

 

I really would like some background on the company that made it. So if you could further enlighten me, I would very much appreciate it.

 

Thank you for your time.

      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
