Hero subsequently purchased the company but now it appears that it's no longer a separate brand.</font></p><p align="left"><font color="#000000">I was able to purchase the remaining stock of a pen shop outside Shanghai (so quite limited numbers). The Wing Sung pens offered here are NOS (new, old stock) and some are consequently a bit shop-worn (meaning they might need a bit of polishing, but at this price, are a terrific value).</font></p></font><p align="left"><b><font face="arial, Arial, Helvetica" color="#000000">#239 Burgundy $10.00 </font><font color="#ff0000">Sold out</font></b></p><p align="left"><a href="http://www.hisnibs.com/images/Wing%20Sung/WingSung239Burgundy.jpg"><img height="80" src="http://www.hisnibs.com/WingSung239Burgundy_small.jpg" width="330" border="0" xthumbnail-orig-image="images/Wing Sung/WingSung239Burgundy.jpg" alt=""/></a></p><p align="left"> </p><p align="left"><b><font face="arial, Arial, Helvetica" color="#000000">#239 Dark Green $10.00 </font><font color="#ff0000">Sold out</font></b></p><p align="left"><a href="http://www.hisnibs.com/images/Wing%20Sung/WingSung239Green.jpg"><img height="74" src="http://www.hisnibs.com/WingSung239Green_small.jpg" width="330" border="0" xthumbnail-orig-image="images/Wing Sung/WingSung239Green.jpg" alt=""/></a></p><p align="left"> </p><p align="left"><b><font face="arial, Arial, Helvetica" color="#000000">#239 Jet Black $10.00 </font><font color="#ff0000">Sold out</font></b></p><p align="left"><a href="http://www.hisnibs.com/images/Wing%20Sung/WingSung239Black.jpg"><img height="79" src="http://www.hisnibs.com/WingSung239Black_small.jpg" width="330" border="0" xthumbnail-orig-image="images/Wing Sung/WingSung239Black.jpg" alt=""/></a></p><p align="left">Here we have a terrific, inexpensive 'knock-around' pen that might even give the venerable <a href="http://www.hisnibs.com/'329'_series.htm">Hero 329</a> a run for its money -- especially at 2/3 the price. Measuring 5-1/8" capped and 5-1/2" posted, the pen sports a steel cap with subtle pinstriping. The cap band is marked with the Chinese characters for 'Wing Sung', as well as the model number '239' and 'Made in China'. The spring clip has the name 'Wing Sung' written in English.</p><p align="left">There's a steel accent ring near the barrel end (balanced with one on the section when the cap is removed), as well as a white plastic 'jewel' inserted in the barrel's bottom.</p><p align="left"><a href="http://www.hisnibs.com/images/Wing%20Sung/WingSung239NibSide2.jpg"><img height="125" src="http://www.hisnibs.com/WingSung239NibSide2_small.jpg" width="330" align="left" border="0" xthumbnail-orig-image="images/Wing Sung/WingSung239NibSide2.jpg" alt=""/></a>The pen's most arresting feature is revealed when the cap is removed, with what must be called it's 'semi-wrap-around' nib. It's gold-plated steel, and equates to a western <i><b>fine</b></i>. Like most nibs designed for the Asian market, it's designed to be firm for writing the more intricate Chinese characters. The nib is engraved with the Chinese characters for 'Wing Sung', along with 'Wing Sung' written in English. The underside of the section is V-shaped, displaying a greater area of the translucent, blue plastic feed. The translucent nature of the feed is also clearly visible through the large breather hole in the top of the nib. <font face="arial, Arial, Helvetica" color="#000000">Unscrewing the barrel reveals the pump-style filler, for use with bottled ink. </font><a href="http://www.hisnibs.com/images/Wing%20Sung/WingSung239NibSide.jpg"><img height="87" src="http://www.hisnibs.com/WingSung239NibSide_small.jpg" width="330" align="right" border="0" xthumbnail-orig-image="images/Wing Sung/WingSung239NibSide.jpg" alt=""/></a></p><p align="left"> </p><p align="left"> </p><p align="left"> <a href="http://www.hisnibs.com/images/Wing%20Sung/WingSung239Nib.jpg"><img height="330" src="http://www.hisnibs.com/WingSung239Nib_small.jpg" width="127" border="0" xthumbnail-orig-image="images/Wing Sung/WingSung239Nib.jpg" alt=""/></a></p><p align="left"> <a href="http://www.hisnibs.com/wing_sung_239.htm">http://www.hisnibs.com/wing_sung_239.htm</a> 这是网址</p>| 欢迎光临 钢笔论坛 (https://www.penbbs.com/) | Powered by Discuz!
