New Brand, OEM, or future Jinhao Piston filler spoiler- The Curious Case of the Lemon Crown Pen M1

[J120]

During my latest Taobao hunt I came across what is either a new brand, a OEM, or some off the path independent rebrand.

 

Reviews say it is a heavy metal. 

 

The other pens in the Lemon official store are Jinhao Centennials with this brands logos. If they are rebranding Jinhao's, one has to wonder if this is the  first Jinhao piston filler? 

 

 

There are Jinhao rebrands in their storefront so not sure if this is an independent seller's work or what the story is.

Might be OEM sourced from Admok , an OEM Mfr lesser known outside of the country

@J120You do discover the most interesting stuff!  Now to see if they hit Aliexpress.

A piston filler Duofold. Isn't that a fun idea.

 

I wonder whether they'll be available on eBay or Aliexpress and at what price

Now you mention it, they do certainly appear to be a variation on a theme of the Hongdian N1S. Style of nib looks very similar. Look good though.
