Sharing some pictures of my Wing Sung Lucky 270 in green celluloid with a 14K nib. The pen arrived to me safe and sound from China but took its own sweet time(5 weeks). I have been very curious about the 14K nibbed pens from China, I liked the celluloid pattern and shape of this pen, so I decided to go for it. This celluloid on my pen does not have the typical Camphor aroma that is found on Cellulose Nitrate. I think this is a type of Cellulose acetate. Another thing that I observed is that the celluloid on the cap and barrel are bindes, i.e. there is a black plastic core to the pen with the celluloid being an overlay tube. The nib is genuine 14k. It is quite well made and is a very strong nib and has the classic tapered sheet thickness. The nib was not setup well from the factory at all and I had to immediately take apart the pen, refit and reshape the nib contour and do some adjustments. The tipping pellet is welded well to the gold body.
