Just received my Majohn T5 (Moonman T5),

Got with medium nib. 

It got out with feed easily. Cleaned it and it's being dried currently. The pen feels quite nice to hold and has a quality feel. Also piston moves easily. Got as $18 (incl. shipping), plus tax, boxed, from Aliexpress.

Beijing Jin Xing 28 with Diamine Sherwood Green.... I promise to take it out of rotation when it runs out of ink so I won't keep posting the same thing. :thumbup:  Oh....hang on...I think I said that last time.... :blush: 🤣 🤣

Sorry, I must stop saying 'Out of rotation' ....that sounds organised and planned....and my 'rotation' is far from that. I usually take a pen 'out of rotation' when I have too many pens inked and one runs out...😮 🤣

Oh and the Majohn C1...  a really cool pen 😎  Especially when used  as an eyedropper  :thumbup:

 

But the nib is no match for the Jin Xing 28  (IMO)  :sad:IMG_3208.thumb.jpg.131e7ee7ac7967bde7255fa8e4f09f79.jpg

NoNamiNot-Lamy: a dark green Safari-form pen inked with a weird mix of Pelikan (iron gall) blue black, and Pelikan Turquoise.  The ink almost matches the pen's barrel color.

My latest ebook.   And not just for Halloween!
 

My other pen is a Montblanc.

The top two are of the the NoName-NotLamy type Safari=form pens, though one is a Hero.

The bottom two are Lamy pens.  It has been quite some time since I last inked them.  Both

the Hero & NoName have med. nibs and write surprisingly well for a copy of the much

like Safari.WIN_20230509_09_34_38_Pro.thumb.jpg.4df5e9e394f2a386702a975db215ac24.jpg

My NoNami has a fine nib, but decent flow, so it works all right with that Double Dry ink mix.  The Not-Hero in your photo… mine also has that black clip.

My latest ebook.   And not just for Halloween!

Decided to ink up the blue Hero in the preceding photo to use in the office today.  The

med. nib is a smooth writer.  Will use it tomorrow and finish up the ink currently in it.

Returned to the "Star Trek" Hero 329's.

I believe they are among my best writing pens.

Up there with vintage Esterbrook J's, Waterman's Dauntless, and Parker Super 21.
