I have for sale a bunch of Wality/Airmail 68EB fountain pen. All are brand new.
The cap and barrel are made of dark green or brown rippled ebonite.
The section and feed are made of black ebonite. The pens are eye dropper filled hence hold a lot of ink.
The pens are the same size as a MontBlanc 146 in length as well as girth.
The nib is fine tipped, but the writing width is more like a western extra-fine. I will include a medium #6 Jinhao nib with the pen. The feed is ebonite and can be heat-set. Let me know if you would like to have the Jinhao nib fitted before shipping.

The price of each is $25 shipped to CONUS. International shipping is $8 via USPS.
Payment via Paypal only.

I have 5 of each. I will update the inventory below as they go:
1 Dark Green Rippled ebonite
2 Brown Rippled ebonite

PM with the color of your choice.

Thanks!

It must be my computer but they sure look like blue / black ebonite?

It's probably your monitor. Under white/day light they are clearly dark green. I have seen them together with the blue rippled ebonite pens and can assure you that they are not blue.

You have to see them in person, else the dark ebonite pens can be hard to identify unless seen side by side.

Do you know if the nib unit is #5 or #6 "standard" size?
In other words, can it be screwed out and replaced with other "standard" nib units like Goulet, Edison, Bock, etc.?

This pen will take a #6 nib. I have fitted a Jinhao #6 nib on mine with the stock feed.
The nib and feed are friction fit. The feed diameter is larger than a Jinhao feed so I used the stock feed.
If you are adventurous and can tap threads in the section for other nibs then you are up for a delight!

Bump for Steve as he provides fast service, AND this is a good solid pen at a reasonable price.

I easily heat set a #6 Goulet 1.1 stub to the feed, and it performs flawlessly. Smooth with a great ED "tanker" full of ink. Feels good in the hand.

No affiliation with either seller
