Congratulations! Looks like a faithful replica of the Italian Delta Dolce Vita pens.

[L.Velvet]

Thanks Hari, have you ever use this pen ? ( or somebody else ? ) I need some opinion about the nib.

[mchenart]

I may be wrong, but it looks to me very much like a modern pen made in China. The price is probably a give-away.

I agree with you. I have also bought this pen from his friend Rahul who is running wancherpens.com site in india. I win the bid for INR 135 approx US $3.

No converter included

And how does it write ?

[watch_art]

It should write well. Most Chinese pens, even the really cheap ones, write pretty good. You might have issues with starving feed and no ink, but a good converter or a cartridge would hopefully fix that.

Maybe this thread belongs in 'writing instruments' since it is likely a Chinese pen, not a Japanese.

[drgoretex]

A little confused. You say you got this pen from Taizo, who sells Japanese pens - but this is likely a pen from China, and the link you include is to an eBay store that is not Taizo's?

The seller seems not to be Taizo (engeika on ebay). Although his goods might be located in Japan, most of them are Chinese pens.

[mchenart]

The eBay 0588_tiger shop, like engeika, are both operated by Taizo, with engeika selling mainly Japanese products and 0588_tiger concentrating on stationery and other nick-nacks from other Asian countries. I bought a Chinese pen from this vendor last year, and it was Taizo who answered my emails.

[bk123]

yes, it is true that eBay 0588_tiger shop is run by Taizo.

One more is there: lifeisnice03 ( this is also run by Taizo But it is being looked after by his Indian friend Rahul)

A few of these Chinese pens show up on Yahoo Japan from time to time. They are very similar to Delta pens in appearance and the plastic provides a looks that belies their cost. Incredible bargains. I think we snagged a handful for under $30 each. Sold very quickly at LA Show a year or two ago. Yes, they do write well!

[L.Velvet]

Yes it was Taizo who answered to my questions ! Thanks to everybody espescially to Stan for answering to my questions , and I can't wait no longer to try the pen.

[ggggggh]

So there are three shops on ebay owned by Taizo? It's hard to belive there's only one person operating this much business. Maybe It's the whole company who use the same name Taizo?

Hello,

after checking, lifeisnice03 doesn't have any items listed at least at present.

Sometimes I suspect the same, since the level of courtesy and language varies in the several interactions that I have had with the ebay seller Engeika.

I recently won a bid for sailor sapporo White fine nib from Engeika.

I called Taizo personally and also asked about all these three id's at ebay. He admitted all three belongs to him. His friend Raul is closely working with him in Japan. Though Raul is Indian and he lives at Pune, India.

 

Our Indian friends can confidently buy pen from ebay seller LifeIsNice03 ( actually own by Engeika(Taizo)).

It says Kaigelu. That's a Chinese make and I own a couple. Great pens for the money, but WHY are they being 'displayed' with Winsor and Newton dip pen ink?
