Dux 612, Oro 612, Wing Sung 612... All The Same?

[sciumbasci]

Just posting this to ask the community if Dux 612 and ORO 612 and Wing Sung 612 are all the same pen, but rebranded, or if the Pakistani Dux and ORO are made on license (thus justifying the price difference)

Dux 612

Not under license. The Dux and ORO are Pakistani brands copying the Wing Sung but apparently better in quality than the Wing Sung and yet cheaper.

I saw something on the net, and here, about them (more on Dux than ORO actually. Seems it's harder to get hold of the latter) and I heard about their quality being a step above the Chinese. Thanks for the insight, mitto! I'll buy away now!

Well, these BAHADUR pens are among the best Pakistani C/C pens. Some models do look like some vintage Chines pens but the quality is better than the original Chines. Others seem copying the pattern and style of Pelikano. The chrome clip BLAZE is one of the best pen among BAHADUR's Pelikano look alike pens. To know the model number one has to gently touch the picture on the screen and both the name and model number appear.
