This is definitely a scam. The nibs are Yiren – Chinese low budget . Ken Crocker reviewed one a few years ago and paid about $8. https://kencrooker.com/yiren-856/

Right after I signed up for this, of course I got a sponsored ad (those persistent cookies!) on Facebook from Daily Fountain Pen. They have a deal of 2 for 1 (it might be a permanent “deal”; I don’t know) on whereby you pay $69.95 and get two. They look good, minus the shiny “gold,” and I’ve tentatively chosen CC-50 and an SG-50 fountain pen. There’s no brand noted. $140 is the alleged full price. I think I’m being had …

All the pens shown in my top ten post will accept ink converters to allow bottled ink to be used. As for scratchy, I wouldn’t describe any of these as scratchy to write with unless the paper is particularly fibrous. Then, only because some have extremely fine nibs. If you prefer a smoother writing experience, I recommend starting with a medium nib to start.

These days it’d have to be largely a mailing operation, with a small shopfront. But I doubt it would survive so haven’t gotten far with that idea.

Now, pens: I’ve never had a fountain pen. I have horrific handwriting–big, loopy, uncontrolled. I’d like to find a way to slow it down. I’m not sure a fountain pen would be the way, but … would its scritchy quality aid in that regard? I bought foolishly a Montblanc ballpoint, and it was just a waste of $100!

Which of your pens above use cartridges–which I do not want–and which use inkpots to fill up?

Very grand collection of my choice. I can not afford to buy but I wish the owner gets the best return out of these pens of lifetime love and attachment.

My favorite part is their back stories. That MontBlanc Rouge Et Noir is on my list. I love their smaller pens. Thanks for sharing.
