Anyone Heard Of Skyglory?

Sounds like something naughty on an airplane, but it's really just a cheap fountain pen.

 

On Friday my wife and I went to visit the in-laws. I entertained myself by having a look through some stationery stores owned by old Chinese. I found these two pens. The first one is a Hero 329. I have been able to find a lot of information about this pen on this site and others.

 

But the other pen is called a Skyglory. I'm not sure if the name on the clip came out well in the photograph. I haven't had much of a chance to play with this pen, but it wrote straight away when I put in the cartridge. No cleaning or flushing. I'm too impatient for that. It is slightly scratchy fine nib with no markings.

 

The only thing I don't like about it is that being short I can only use it posted. But because of the shape it doesn't post well. But for the price I paid it doesn't really matter.

 

Anyway, has anyone else seen one of these pens? What do you think of them?

 

Cheers,

 

Nathan

Skyglory pens and inks are available here in India. Their calligraphy pen sets are more widely available

What about Sky Glory's cartridges? Are they international standard or proprietary?

It's cute, plastick-y and a great color while transparent in spots. I like it.
