Hero 892 Seashells is a beautiful fountain pen manufactured by Hero Pen of China. It was produced in the late 1990s and has since been discontinued.

 

Cut linings of mother-of-pearl, abalone and other seashells are inlaid into the surface of the lacquered barrel and cap. They are randomly distributed so each pen is different from others. They show different colours under different lighting conditions. It is simply magnificent.

 

The pen has two versions: gold accents and chrome accents. The gold accents version is normally fitted with a 12k gold nib. The chrome accents version is fitted with a 12k gold nib or an unplated steel nib. The nib is semi-hooded.

 

The nib, feed and pump(converter) of Hero 892 Seashells are interchangeable with those of Parker 45.

 

Here are some pictures of the pen with chrome accents:

That is a very pretty pen--and what a nib on it!

I came here for the pictures and stayed for the conversation.

You have sharp eyes. I have fitted the pen with a Parker 45 "E" nib (broad italic).

Do any other Hero pens come with Parker 45-compatible nib units? I have a few P45s that need new nibs, but for the prices of nib units on eBay you could just buy a whole new pen. Buying a pen from Hero and using the nib seems like it might be a better deal. :)

Hero 800 is based on Parker 45. The nib, feed and pump of a Hero 800 pen are interchangeable with those of Parker 45.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
