Which is the real Hero 66?

[ghostb]

The pictures of the pen, enclosed in this topic, are pictures of the pen of my wife. As you can see, the letters "Hero 66" are engraved in the top of the cap.

 

My wife has found another fountainpen, more to her liking, so I wanted to sell this item. While looking on the internet for specifications of this pen, google came with the folowing link:

This pen is totally different. Now I wonder: Is there more than 1 Hero Pen Company? Somebody used the wrong topbold? Has there somebody been creative with an engraving machine?

 

Would the real 66 please rise?

Oh my gosh, they actually have counterfeit Hero pens? Now I've seen everything...

Is there nothing sacred left in this world???

 

LESSON: DONT BUY FROM EBAY or QUESTIONABLE WEBSITES. That "great deal" may not be so great when you find out is faked. Buy it from a reputable dealer, better pay a few bucks more and make sure you get the real thing.

 

Whoever made that pen looks like they make fake Parker Sonnets on the side too.

yes virginia, there are fake heros. also more hero companies than the "shang hai hero pen co" furthermore, styles get up-dated, as in the case of the "hero 329". it's a rain forest out there!

Maybe your pen is a Hero 99? Depends (literally) on how you look at it.
