Wing Sung "233" Review

[antichresis]

A short, informal review of a very solid knock-around pen. I like it a lot! This pen is easily obtained from eBay and comes in different iterations (with what seems to be the same nib and feed) such as the "234", "235", "237", etc. I like this one the best since it has that ink-view window and doesn't have the nib collar of its siblings. The ink window isn't really useful though in practice.

I got one of these a couple of days ago and mine is also inked with Pilot blue-black. How’s that for coincidence?

My impressions so far are similar to yours: the cap clutch is a bit stiff and the step down from barrel to section is a bit sharp. Other than that, it’s a perfectly good utility pen. I like it.

If you prefer a two-tone nib, check out the listings for NOS 1990s versions of this pen.

I have one as fountain and one as desk pen.
