Just A Generic Or Something Intresting?

Recommended Posts

When I read "Jean Pierre"I thought Lepin!

 

But that is not the case... Is something decent, just o generic Chinese, or an imitation ?

 

what do you think?

To buy or not to buy, That was the question. No idea. They want $50, that I do not have, it is to much for a solid box with a generic chinese pen.

The writing on the nib is a bit blurry, but I'm pretty sure it says "Iridium Point Germany". An IPG nib doesn't actually prove that it's a cheaply constructed pen, but it doesn't inspire confidence. Wish the seller luck in getting $50 for this.

It should be a "Lepin", made in France. I keep coming across them on ebay. The small ones are about $70Aud which is roughly $50Usd so this one seems about right. Some funky designs on the website but not for me at all. I like the boring looking pens. Don't know if China counterfeits them.

I do not think is an imitation... y just think is a chinese pen that some trader thought, lets put on them a french name to fool people... well people like me. If I have to guess the were not even aware of the lepin pens...

 

BTW... that "titanic" series... what did they... WTH? :sick:

 

Here in Argentina fountain pen=Parker luxury FP= MB, in the middle and as a novelty Cross

 

the price of a parker is 4x the international price... the new MB starting at approx $1000 ... and cross, well a Beverly on the "regional ebay" beginning at $160 in a store (here in the very south) any Cross... I mean the cheapest ballpoint starts at $350...

 

but that is another thread... Value for the money in different countries

 

 

I begin this.. and I think is pointless... for the same money not even a cent more :thumbup:

Yes, Le Corbusier should be C(crying)OFL... interesting relationship form/function... but this is a style but it easy form me to "see"the idea behind that ballpoints that seem a piece of a weird collar than in the titanic collection...

Anyway a piece of aplumbering toy that writes for just 5400 Euros is fair for me :wallbash:

      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
