Most sellers have 'em up as Jinhao, but for some reason one of them (ahai006?) has 'em up as Yiren... so now I'm not sure what's the true brand. I would assume that since the majority have 'em up as Jinhao, they're Jinhao's. Great little pen for the price though; usually about $5.00USD shipped.

Pilot 78G with a medium nib because the fine kept drying out. It can't keep up with my fast writing!!!

Sailor 1911. I went slightly mad with my pen budget (by my standards - still perfectly well in the black though).

I received a Jinhao Missile (Pocket) pen.... great little pen for the price. Metal (chrome plated brass I think), SMOOTH Fine nib, breather tube, good weight and nice balance (must be posted). I just redid the shellac seal on the sac though - mine looked like it only received a dab about 1/3 of the way around the sac. Leaked a bit of ink inside the filler mechanism, but not out of the pen - was easy to dissassemble, clean, and correct.

 

I would recommend filling with water first... I never got much beyond a couple drops of ink when I filled - should have flushed and fixed right away, but I used it until it ran out instead.

 

Looking forward to putting back into service as soon as that shellac dries

 

With mine, I found that it took some vigorous pumping to get the thing to fill, but it writes quite nicely once it does. No leaks for me, I'm happy to say. :-)

From the photos, the Yiren version has a different clip and lacks the brass ring at the front of the barrel. Mine has "Jinhao" stamped deeply into the clip.

I just pulled the trigger on an Ebony Black P51 Vac. Looking forward to receiving it; I've been wanting a 51 for a long time, and the Vacumatic filling system interests me, too.

[le chat serein]

Waiting for my P51 Vacumatic to return from its restore. Not waiting patiently at all. I've checked the mail like, 3 times every day for the past 4, and likely to keep doing so until I get my baby back.

Hey! I have that pen---it's a nice writer.
