1. Extra Fine Nib Ink Reviews (13 of n)

   Images which go with my Extra Fine Nib Ink Review (EFNIR) posts.  (Reviews of inks using only a Japanese EF nib.)
    
   Images with a file name ending in capital "AP" show the ink on absorbent paper.  Above the black line is puzzle paper (like thick newsprint), while below is old 20lb copy paper.  Images with a file name ending in a capital "S" show a scan (rather than photograph) of the ink.
    
   A file name with no code-letter in the file name, just the ink name, is a screen capture of the review from the video.  A file name ending in a capital "Z" is a "zoom" photograph taken with a USB microscope. A file name ending with "W" (possibly followed by a number), or "WT", indicates the results of a water test.  A file name ending in "LW" is a microscopic photo (at 100x) with a scale showing the line with in microns (micrometers).  A file name with "Smear" at the end is a microscopic photo of the ink spread on a slide.
    
   Occasional extra files may include ones with a "C" (or "Chroma") at the end of the file name for the results of chromatography.  Others will have descriptions added to explain what they are.

    Here are some pictures of the pens that were produced in Chinese factories in the 1930s and 1960s. Many models were exported to the Soviet Union during the years of Soviet-Chinese friendship and technical cooperation.

21. Extra Fine Nib Ink Reviews (2 of n)

    Images which go with my Extra Fine Nib Ink Review (EFNIR) posts.  (Reviews of inks using only a Japanese EF nib.)
     
    Images with a file name ending in capital "AP" show the ink on absorbent paper.  If a black line separates two images, the top is puzzle paper (like thick newsprint), while the bottom is old 20lb copy paper.  If no black line is present, it's just the puzzle paper.  Images with a file name ending in a capital "S" show a scan (rather than photograph) of the ink.  Many of these did not really work out well, but I adjusted the color as best I could, when necessary.  Not sure whether they add value, but I'm including them anyway.
     
    A file name with no code-letter in the file name, just the ink name, is a screen capture of the review from the video.  A file name ending in a capital "Z" is a "zoom" photograph taken with a USB microscope.

23. Pelikan 120

    My collection. My Pelikan 120 has a polystyrene collar. So, it can be dated 1960's (please see  Pelikan 400NN ). This also suggests that the cap safety device was still installed in 1960's pens.
