I remember seeing this on TaoBao , the prices it's about 150 $ i believe . It's even have the company logo, name , model nr imprinted on the barrel .

I love Fountain Pens, with hooded nib in the classic style, Parker 51/61 type .

Weee

$150. While it looks nice - particularly the large diamond pattern - that price is well outside what I am prepared to pay for a WS601. They are good, but I have had enough failures not to be prepared to risk that amount of money having one. Furthermore, how good is the plating? On my DJ burgundy, the chrome plating around the blind cap jewel started to look grey after 3 days. That's not terribly good on a $10 pen. On a $150 pen it would be unforgivable, and I have (as yet) no evidence that it would be better on the $150 pen.

 

Regards,

 

Richard.

I believe it's the same pen but different cap and metal accessories color .

The cap of that pen it's made of massive Sterling Silver (925) ?

In that case it is worth it's price . :)

An interesting development, thank you for sharing.

 

I recently got a steel cap DJ. The 'jewel' is...interesting. Notice the run off on the bushing screw? Might be applied as a liquid that then sets hard?

The pen itseIf is quite nice, the cap a bit of a let down! I've disassembled the cap to fettle it a bit.

 

*The bushing is one of those wierd ones with a slope by the shaft rather than squared off, like a late Hero 616. Baffling decision that looks really ugly and ensures any concentricity problems between cap shell and plastic inner cap are presented to the clip.

* Capping stops short of covering the ink window

* Capping action is mushy, like a Parker 45's rather than a 51's clutch-over the clutch ring tactility.

* The finish is really meh. I think they were going for a polished finish at the band, and a horizontally brushed finish for the rest of the body, but it looks like a lustraloy cap that's spend some years in a drawer jangling with pocket change. Brushing is indistinct and squinty, with lots of vertical scratches.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
