Jun Lai 900 in ebonite: photos
Dan Carmell posted a topic in China, Korea and Others (Far East, Asia)
Just received these photos from a vendor of the Jun Lai 900, ebonite version. The ebonite version seems larger? It also appears they dropped the Greek Key engraving from the wide cap band and the tiny engraving from the narrow cap band. That’s a shame, the Greek Key motif was well done and that micro-engraving made that narrow ring sparkle. I wonder if it was a cost-saving message, since the Ti version was the LE. I have the ebonite 600, 631, and 632 but between cost and styling, I’m not likely to buy this version, although I’m sure it’s as well made as the previous ebonite models. -
The regular edition of the Jun Lai 900 will be available soon and I received some advance photos this morning. It has the same #9 nib and is also a piston filler, but is made in ebonite and it is a little larger than the titanium LE 900 and has a different cap band engraving (the engraving seems to be the same or similar to the engraving on the 632), but as you can see, it has the same overall shape and styling. No pricing or other information yet.

New Wing Sung: 632 Ebonite Piston-filler
Dan Carmell posted a topic in China, Korea and Others (Far East, Asia)
My favorite vendor alerted me to a new pen offered today, the 632. It’s an ebonite piston-filler with a #8 18K nib. Offered in gold or white-plated trim, the white-plated pens sport an 18K nib, also plated in a white precious metal, a first for this series. Nibs are offered in EF, F, M, and B, with multiple long knife sizes as before. Interestingly, while Heartbeat nibs, plain or long knife, are on offer, the photos show ‘1947’ Wing Sung nibs that are tipped as long knives—I believe the previous long knife nibs were all Jun Lai heartbeat nibs. $260 for the regular nibs; $300 for the long knife nibs. The vendor is 365Days Stationary Store. I’ve ordered it in red, gold trim, EF heartbeat nib.
