    Coating on barrel of Hong Dian model 1850 can be damaged

    From the album: Chinese pens

    The rubbery coating on the barrel of the Hong Dian model 1850 (aka Forest series) can be scratched or worn through to expose the metal beneath it. Shown here is my Birch Forest that I've carelessly damaged by using its pen barrel to push against a metal object trying to nudge the latter aside.

    HongDian Black Forest marketing image titled ‘arrangement | black’

    From the album: Translated third-party content

    Pieces of this endless scroll of marketing images for the HongDian model 1850 that seem to have originated from the manufacturer itself.

    Endless scroll of Hong Dian model 1850 marketing images (downsized)

    From the album: Chinese pens

    I found this here, in an AliExpress listing: https://www.aliexpress.com/i/1005001350183144.html, posted in fragments that don't align with the boundaries between the individual marketing images, which look to me to have originated from the manufacturer itself for distributors' and retailers' use. I was hoping that posting this here may make the information on this popular pen easier to read; but, alas, the forum platform's limitations have foiled my intent. Note: The FPN Image Gallery will resize larger/taller images to 1200 pixels in height when you're browsing, and I haven't found a way to get around the limitation. You may have to download (under ’Image Tools’, when you hover over the image panel) the 930kB file, and then open it on your computing device inside a local image viewer application, to see it in its ‘true’ size as I've uploaded it; and that's already been downsized to 480×9910 pixels, where the original images were 790-pixel wide.

    Available HongDian nib options writing in Lamy T53 Obsidian ink

    From the album: Nib comparisons

    These were done using the black-coloured steel nibs to suit the HongDian model 1850 Black Forest. I can't tell you whether the performance and differences mirror that in the silver- and blue-coloured nibs for that model. By the way, two things I've since learnt from first-hand experience: the cap on the HongDian model 1850 is not very good at preventing ink evaporation; this holds true for both the Black Forest and Birch Forest variants; and Lamy T53 Obsidian ink is very nasty stuff once dried out in a pen!
