Hi Chris! Your review and observations are very important. From what I understand and from what I have analyzed for some time, it should not be a Jinhao fountain pen. The denomination 9056 or 9058 refers only to the Jinhao model that takes inspiration from its shapes. This is what emerges from AE in Europe. I am not aware of Jinhao fitting nibs and converters that are not theirs on their fountain pens, never seen it and I have been dealing with it for over 24 years. Furthermore, they have tried to emulate in the stabilized resin, colors used in the Visconti Van Gogh and Rembrandt fountain pens. Also from AE, where I purchased them, I would like to point out the Huashilai wooden fountain pens of remarkable workmanship. I agree with you about a better rendering of the color in terms of polychromatic variations, in any case I find your fountain pen very beautiful. Thanks for all!
Ooh! I like the look of the pen as is, but I would be disappointed if I was expecting the pen that’s in the picture. And the pens in the picture are really pretty
I think they ar now making counterfeit Jinhao's. I remember Doug got a Jinhao 100 and it wasn't a Jinhao. I would like to say thanks 'for taking one for the team'. Chels c:
Pity that the pen you got was a disappointment. I have one that closely represents the picture from the seller. The main color is green. It came in a wood box (probably balsa).I have not inked the pen, yet. The shape and size of the pen definitely reminds me of the Conklin All-American.
I think your ink had more color variation than the pen, Chris. I spotted that offering, too, and was giving it some consideration, so thanks for taking one for the team. I am less interested, now. Hope you get a reply and some satisfaction.
Maybe I missed it but what's the more orangey ink you're using in the writing demonstrations? It doesn't look like Cherry Sunburst still? Thanks for the review.
Kinda unrelated question: i saw the Diamine Cherry Sunburst sloshing around in the bottle and it looks very bright. Do you know any other ink that looks as bright and saturated (even cold tones) while in the bottle/converter? I would like to buy some for my demonstrator pens.
I own several excellent ( cheap ) Jinhao pens and jumped at this "lovely looking' pen. Made the mistake of using Temu instead of Aliexpress! The pen is the worst and flimsiest piece of junk I have ever purchased. Within two months of infrequent use, the pen totally seized up with the front ens irretrievably wedged in the cap. Tried everything to gently open it only to have the front break off - stripped threads - and rendering the pen useless. It is by far the most fragile & poorly made pen and a joke at $ 52.00 Canadian. Do not get fooled like I did. BAD! BAD! BAD!!

Thanks, appreciate your support.

I agree. 🙁

I do what I can. There are so many pen makers & sellers in China, lots of "unbranded" models.
Pity that the pen you got was a disappointment. I have one that closely represents the picture from the seller. The main color is green. It came in a wood box (probably balsa).I have not inked the pen, yet.

Yes, size & shape very common.
9:14 Jinaho actually makes black nibs for the Jinaho 100 Hollow model in matte black. Maybe this pen predates that.
Good catch. I have a black Hollow & forgot that.
@@chrisrap52 They also made a #5 for the 92 model, but that wouldn't fit and it's certainly newer.
The frog does look a little WTF. He's not mad, he's just disappointed.

I don't expect a reply. I could return the pen but don't have the energy for that process.

You are welcome. I have a few "orangey" inks. Latest is Jinhao shown in this video - th-cam.com/video/HVDHsk1XEDg/w-d-xo.html

The bottle shown had amber ink. Not Cherry Sunburst. Just used ti show narrow opening.
@@chrisrap52 Oh thank you!
Looks like someone left it out in the sun, it's really pale and missing some great coloring.
Yes it is plain, not what I wanted.
@@chrisrap52 I wouldn't either, Chris!

One example does not make a case for all. I have 2, both are well made.
Yeah, that's a disappointment, for sure.
