Jinhao

The gold and silver plating is etched with something akin to a Victorian filigree design near the edges, offsetting another "Jinhao" brandmark running vertically up the centre of the nib.

"Jinhao" rims the cap, and smaller gold bands near the top and bottom of the pen are punctuated with polished rounded black tips.

I bought a 250 Jinhao from www. xfountainpens.com for 10.00 and that included shipping.

Bryan - I received my beautiful Jinhao pen but failed to purchase ink cartridges at the same time.

ISellPens. com Jinhao page gives a clue as to its origins: "Jinhao is made in China and a relatively new company started by a previous employee of a major pen manufacturer."

The Jinhao cartridges are about 5mm shorter than the Parker Quink cartridges but I have recently been able to find Parker Quink mini cartridges which fit into the few Jinhaos that do not accept the full length Parker ones.

So while I can guarantee that this Jinhao works beautifully, I've seen or experienced no other from this maker.
