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.

Looks sweet! I like the fact that the cap is a screw-on instead of a snap-on. How much was it, and where did you get it from? (you can PM me the details!) Finally, how does it write?

I believe you have, as always, done an excellent job of capturing the pen in photographs. What are your feelings on the pen? Do you like it? Does it feel like it is decently made?

As ever nice photos and review of an interesting pen.

 

Forgive my ignorance but is this a vintage or new pen?

 

Whilst I like it a lot I don't have the maintenance skills required to get a pen like this into shape :(

      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
