Any idea why 1949?

Maybe something to do with the fact that that's when People's Republic of China was established by Mao Zedong?

 I wish they would upgrade the feed though. 

 

How is the current feed lacking? It's ben a while since I had/used an X750, but I had no issue with the feed.

Add lightness and simplicate.

They seem to be a bit hit and miss. I ordered a pack of 15, some of them were great and some weren't so great. Also I don't like the look.

Did you give them a soapy scrub and rinse before using?

If you put a nib over the feed you won't see it. 🤪

Probably because that was the year the Chinese Communist Party declared the founding of the People's Republic of China at Tiananmen Square.

I found an Etsy listing for Jinhao Centennial which has this nib.

Not bad, but £90 seems a little pricey for this pen. Where can I find it for cheaper? 

Funny how our perceptions work isn't it. Most of the time we'd think £90 for a gold nibbed pen was a bit of a steal, and we happily pay double that for a steel nibbed one from Italy.

For £90 I could get a gold nibbed pen from one of Japan's big 3. I got my Pilot Capless for that price, for example. So I'll need a bit of convincing to choose this pen with no reviews over something tried and tested like the Capless.

Yet you asked for cheaper, not convincing that this pen is worth the asking price to you. ;)

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

 Yeah. Forget about that insignificant Sun Yat-Sen fellow

China can make copy of anything valuable and precious.  I have seen fake MBs with solid gold nibs, and I highly doubt they make all the other parts just to install a genuine MB nib to fool people.  So China´s ability to make gold nibs has been around for some years.

What has Sun Yat Sen got to do with 1949? I was only speculating on what significance 1949 might have for a Chinese company.

Sun Yat-sen was the first President of the Republic of China in 1911.

      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
