New Wing Sung model w/ #9 Nib

[Dan Carmell]

I was given some photos of the next Wing Sung high-end pen. It features a #9 14K nib, so perhaps that’s all I need to say!

 

It is clearly a large pen—the pen without the cap weighs 44.5 grams. It appears to be a titanium alloy (not confirmed). It is a piston filler and the nib is in a screw-in nib unit. And that’s about all I know so far!

 

Available within a month, apparently. 
 

EDITED to add:  Vendor tells me there will be both steel and 14K gold nibs available for this pen. No pricing revealed yet.

Dan I would like to thank you for assiduously sharing so many of the latest pens coming out from China; I really enjoy seeing what's next even though I restrain my urge to purchase!

lordamercy that is spendy, maybe the non 14k version will be half that?

It’s an 18k nib, I got that wrong. Half that is a lot for a steel nibbed pen, unless people decide is equal to a Leonardo or the equivalent. $200 would be a lot but better. It’s very spendy and I’m pretty conflicted at this point!

You and me both Dan! I guess I'll see how I feel about it when it's released
