Looks like a copy of a Kaweco Sport with minor modifications. But so does the Ixion.

That does resemble an ixion. Is a lovely pen.

 

What material/type of metal is that? Looks like an anodized aluminum.

According to the auction it's aluminum alloy.

PenBBS exclusively uses #6 sized nibs, so based on sizing I don't really think it's all that close to a Kaweco Sport.

well its on retail shelf online, it said Aluminum, surprise surprise, it include an interchangeable rollerball housing ; this is going to be interesting , that might be a good candidate for making a matched pair

Holy... This looks very much like Ixion! I have one but if this is lighter and have a #6 nib I'd be interested in it..

All PenBBS pens use #6 nibs, but they're a touch shorter than those from makers like Bock or Jowo and don't always swap cleanly.

I'm curious about what the weight is as well, especially uncapped.

The aluminum pen weights 22g and the brass one is 58g. I asked them on their Etsy page

      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

      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
