Il tuo italiano sembra migliore del mio inglese

Grazie mille. Non sudarti ... il tuo inglese è abbastanza buono.

È quasi impossibile non sudare qui a Napoli in questo periodo

I just bought one. Great pen for the price. The only downside is the weight but I can forgive it for the wet, juicy, springy nib which writes perfectly right out of box. If they make this in ebonite......

Hi Woleizihan,

 

Morbid curiosity begs the question... ... where did you find it for sale?

Taobao.com...... I'm in China right now. You can use the Taobao global shipping pretty much to anywhere else inthe world. It's not ridiculously expensive. USCON is like $20 for the first kilo, which will make the pen ~$90. Still a pretty good deal IMO.

I get the same pen from Taobao. But it's too heavy and I can't use it. I wish its material were plastic.

Well, from the above disassembly we now know that it is a cartridge-converter and not a true piston filler.

CC pens have their advantages over piston-fillers. Well, I still think that the pen is great. I would still buy it.

The matte black shown in the link provided by fountainpen51 is beautiful.

Maybe during next visit to China.

Yes,it seems that the color is brown and not matt black.

 

Ciao

color looks to me as gunmetal. ordered one from taobao $59 plus 12.5 freight. now the wait has begun.

[fountainpen51]

Will the nib be a Chinese standard size 5?

[serpent]

Received my h718 a week after purchase. quite fast using rakuten forwarding service. got mine ina F ans it writes very smooth only gripe i have is the retracting mechanism is not so smooth. overall a great buy and worth every penny.

Interesting pen, it’s it was a cheaper I would be tempted

[DanielK]

Hi all. I just ordered this pen on eBay. No one will mistake it for the Mont Blanc. But for the price it is a much better pen, as I dont have to feel guilty about the purchase. The nib is slightly scratchy, and stiff, but it wrote beautifully right out of the box.
