I didn't know there was a comment section in that place.

 It seems that the entire lineup of white feather self-fill fountain pens has been revealed. I saw 136 on ebay.

 According to the definition of another Type 28 thread link article, these White Feather self-fill fountain pens seem to be classified as "Type 73".

 

Because the editors in Hubei chose a model which local sellers were familar with.

 

By the way, the livedoor blog with odd Japanese articles is my blog.

Hello.

 

 I got the feeling that you were probably a member of FPN.

 I would like to read your posts and blog posts to understand Chinese vintage writing tools.

 

 I understand that "Type 28" is a generalized fountain pen classification.

 "Type 73" was introduced with a focus on interest in "meaning that such a classification exists".

 Is the classification of that article a mixture of generalized ones and those advocated by authors or editors?

I can not draw such a conclusion.

 

Because only the book mentioned such a type of self-filling pens. It is not clear whether the classification was acccepted or not.

 

At the beginning, pens were classified by shape. So Type26/28 and Type 201 are easy to be reconized and Type 26/28 were accepted as a general type in good code by commercial system.

 

Then, filling systems were considered.

 

A prototype based on Parker 61 made by Wolff(200 Hero) or Rockman(Rockman 66 protype) was considered as Type 201 in far older document.

I see.

 I posted about "Type 73" in the sense of asking for a negative or affirmative reply.

 Because I did a little research on the self-fill fountain pen, but the name was never used anywhere.

 Nevertheless, that article was categorized.

 A little question arose in me.

 Thank you for giving us a valid interpretation.

 

 Please tell me various things again.

Parker Quink is not a carbon ink. Nor is it pigment based.

Yes, but possible users of two old Parker inks should be aware that Super Chrome is dangerous for most any pen and the later Parker Penman, while loved by many, especially Sapphire, is so highly saturated it’s not advised for any pen you value. 
 

I don’t know about ‘Super Quink’ which was advertised as Super Chrome’s successor, but I’d certainly around ask before using it. 
 

I do use very old Waterman, Sheaffer, and Parker inks. I’d use an ancient bottle of any mild ink like Hero’s. As long as there’s not a strange smell or ‘ink snot’ forming in the bottle, it’s generally safe to use.

I recorded a video of a White Feather 72 filling water, and edited it to 10x speed. 

 

 

The water absorption demonstration is also amazing, but the demonstrator model is even more amazing.

 

 Is it an excavation?

 Or did you find a mold and make a new one?

I guess it was a non-sale product that the factory provided to the store to show the structure, similar to Parker and Sheaffer.
