Wing Sung 699 14k, five below .7 calligraphy pen, Hero (or sub brand) IM clone, 2 Ooly Writes in red and purple, and a five below Lamy clone with a cool swirl pattern.  I think my Pelikan Jazz Elegance might actually be made in China, but am not certain.

My Jinhao 82s came in. One is the fine nib the other fude. I’m having difficulty with the fude only wanting to write with the nib reversed. I have some work to do with it

Today's journal pen was a Wing Sung 601A with a conical nib and Diamine Salamander. The nib is beautifully fine and not a hint of scratchy.

 

I was just browsing through, and suddenly this nib caught my eye.  It looks like the SchonDsgn's Monac nib (or rather, Monac nib loos a bit like this nib?).  At least the visible part of it.  I wonder how this 601A's conical nib looks like when it is removed from the pen?

Hero H708 inked with Diamine Earl Grey

Just got a Hongdian Black Forest with a fude nib. I really like these pens... We have 3 with different finishes and nib styles now.

 

One of my daily drivers is a Jinhao 159 that I received as a Pay It Forward from @Sailor Kenshin. It's also pretty great.

For the last few days I've been using a Majohn/Moonman M800 (the orange one) but with a Jowo/Anderson pens 1.1 stub...amazing...my first stub!!

 

This pen was unusable with the Moonman nib...never experienced something as bad as that nib (only into fountain pens for a year now). I swapped in a medium and it was..ok..not great but ok. Totally transformed with the stub nib though!!!

Orange Jinhao X159 inked with Pilot Iroshizuku Shin-Ryoku (Dark Green) ink. Nifty little writer so far!

looking good.  how did you take off / swap the end finial? just try to unscrew with force?

Maybe you can try swapping the cap finial too, maybe'll look even better.

[shane27]

@AceNinjait just twists off with some force. though I will say "do at your own risk" because its probably possible to break it. The cap finial also unscrews but it has a slotted nut inside that holds it all together and is difficult to screw back in once it is undone.

@shane27 My black and orange X159 pens arrived yesterday and I made your swap. I'm super pleased with the very attractive pen that resulted. Thank you for the inspiration!

There is a X159 Heminway with orange cap and a reverse one with black barrel an orange cap. Maybe there are other nice mixtures: white barrel and black cap, or yellow and green ,etc..
