Zebra V-301 Fountain Pen... Is It Made By Monami (Korea)?

I noticed this perusing Jetpens. Their nibs are the same geometry from what I can see, both use a wick feed, and both use very similar proprietary cartridges that look like modified international carts, with a plug on the non-business end. Am I on to something or am I crazy?

They are diiferent ! Zebra is a Japanese company . Are we on the same page on this ? The nibs of these 2 pens are not in the least alike !!!

Ok, the nibs are different. But the cartridges look the same. I am very aware of their countries of origin, or at least the companies that bear their names.

I guess you might think about the Pilot V-pen , perhaps ? The nibs of these 2 pens are quite similar , indeed . BTW, Bic has a disposable fountain pen having an almost identical nib as the Pilot V-pen !

 

On the otherhand, the Zebra V-301 Fountain Pen is a very smooth wrting pen and it's one of my favorite !
