I thought I'd cross post from this thread (http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/topic/282490-a-demonstrator-piston-hero-100-yes-sir/) over at FPN, because if someone knows what the heckbox is going on, I'd love to hear the inside skinny. They appear to be demonstrator piston filler versions of established Chinese models.
