This Instagram is from an online pen store based in Malaysia.  Just saw this L2K look alike, and thought I would share here.

 

According to the shop's listing, the brand Rodel is a Taiwan brand.  Selling for about USD 95 (converted from MYR423).

At that price it should have a better converter. I’ve not found that slide type converter to be very robust

I bought this pen with a different brand name a year ago for $22.

Rather than Rodel under the clip at the cap lip, it’s MSBH on near the top of the clip, otherwise identical to yours, even to the flimsy red-handled converter. It is the closest imitator in looks to the L2K, though, I agree.

A pen, presumably identical to the pen marked MSBH, was sold on Taobao under the name "Huijing MSBH 2000 Series Fountain Pen". (Only the nib is available, the pen is sold out, and the pen is described as made in Taiwan.)

There was also a program on You Tube for a pen with a similar name.

This pen would also be similar.

This is a published catalog by a Taiwanese company for OEMs.

Catalogs for pen boxes, converters, etc. are also helpful.

For now, we will only point out the similarity of the shape of these pens and will not address whether the pens are identical or not.

Interesting! It’s surprising that it’s been available for a while yet hasn’t gotten much attention.
