I have the GS 28 in front of me and can definitely say it is a number 6 nib, I'm not familiar with the others.

Hi Steven, I really like the Golden Star 565 (billed as a PFM style pen) but mine keeps drying out. Have tried, without success, to seal the cap. Do you have a drying problem and have you found a fix??

Thanks

My Golden Star 565 it's lasts close to a week unused , for my that it's ok . You could try the Hero 565 it's essentially the same pen but it is drying slower it writing even after a week of been unused and in general it's a little better .

I just happen to start another fill on my Heror 565 ( which I had an after market wooden barrel fitted ) today, with Diamine Evergreen

I love the size of the 565, sometimes billed as a Chinese PFM, but the pen dries out. Have tried sealing the cap with various thing but no real solution. If your dries out do you have any ideas?

 

Edited to add: Where did you find an aftermarket barrel? I thought the 565 was discontinued.

No they are not in production AFAIK, but plenty of stock are still around retail and just might be, Hero could still be doing irregular scheduled batch production. In any case there is several aftermarket barrel parts on Taobao and in their home market online retail channel but I am not sure if they offer those on say Etsy or AliExpress , but here's a link to one of the better one still offering - Hero 565 after market wooden barrel on TaoBao -

 

BTW mine do not had any issue with dry out but if there is such its likely to do with the cap liner / inner cap having air gap open to the environment usually around the cap / inner cap edge and then the clip , some thick silicone grease usually solve the problem quite well
