@OCArtI'm so glad! This is the conundrum that @jchch1950 mentioned, the color combinations are almost endless! I was just thinking a demonstrator barrel would also be cool if they ever make one :)

Yes, I've grown quite fond of the X159 and also think a demonstrator would be very fun.

One of my favorite pens to write with, my JinHao 51A.  It only had one problem.  If I stopped writing for a minute, it wouldn't restart without a wipe on a tissue.  Today I looked closely at the nib and could see some constriction in the slot near the tip.  I removed the nib and ran a shim through it and  problem solved.

I've posted on a couple of other threads with no success. Anyone recognise this Chinese pen and where I could find another or a new nib?  (It's a Chinese Dolce-Vita Naranja) but I don't remember the manufacturer and I can't seem to find any for sale. As you can probably see the nibs been damaged. 🙁  It was probably my 'most inked' pen and could be used for anything on any paper.

It's my 'Old Faithful' again for me today.. my Bejing Jinxing 28. It had been sat for a while, (my newly reclaimed Parker 25 seems to be getting my attention lately) so it needed a little bit of coaxing back to life...

 

Edit: Nope, forget that, it was out of ink...that's the problem with pens that hold quite a bit of ink...you never expect them to run out 🤣🤣🤣

 

She's normally loaded with Aurora Black....but I'm feeling a bit of a rebel, so I'd like to see if we can get some nice shading with Pelikan Blue/Black on the next fill. Or maybe even Diamine Chocolate Brown 😮 👍

It's most likely a #5 nib easily obtainable from any of the online or BM pen shops.

Thank you for your reply. Yes, from what I've seen here I was thinking it was probably a #5 To be honest I was kind of hoping I could get this very same nib / pen maybe I just dropped on a 'good one' but I just wrote with this thing like it was a pencil or a ballpoint....even I think it sounds stupid at this price point...but it was exactly what I wanted in a note taking FP....

@51ISH I know you loved your oen for more than the color but do look at the Jinhao 100, they are very nice pens.

Probably a very bad thing to do, but I took one of these (in a rather violent purple, but with the same horrendous embossed image):

And turned it into this:

And now I rather like it.

An aqua Jinhao 82, inked with Laban Aphrodite Pink - marked as an M, writes like a western F, and the Lamy 2000-alike Jinhao 80 Fibre F, inked with Platinum Citrus Black. I actually prefer this to the Lamy as I don't like hooded nibs, and it only cost £2.28 from AliExpress :)

      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
