Thanks! And thanks for going to the extra trouble for a hand-written review. That always adds more information.

I'm a big fan of Wing Sung pens, especially the new old stock ones like these. The few I have are just darn good pens: as you say, solid, reasonably nice-looking, and good writers.

I am...apparently unable to edit my original post, so here are the photos:

The Burgundy red pen is the Wing Sung 236, and the black one is the 612.

Sorry to revive a superold thread. I am back into my fountain pen bug and pull out a Wingsun 612 that my son damaged somehow. The nib is pretty much toast now. It writes but very rough. Can I change the nib on a Wingsun 612? if so, how and where to find the replacement?

Buy a new pen altogether, the 612 is long since discontinued.

Yes you can, the hooded nib on the 612 is of the 3.3X18.5mm type and its pretty common one in Chinese hooded nib fountain pens, its very easy to find replacement from online retail, just made sure you order the 18.5mm type ( there are other types ). You can even order specialist calligraphy type ( aka Fude ) if that's what you desire.

      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
