This is the Yiren 818 fountain pen. I know absolutely nothing about this pen except that it can be had for under $2 on ebay. In the ebay description it had no brand name listed at all. I bought this purely on a whim and for $2 it is hard to say it wasn’t worth it but I don’t think I would have ordered had I seen it in person first.

It is a shimmering multi colored sparkle to it but it also has several blemishes, particularly on the chrome portions. The clip has a good spring to it but it is looses and wiggles side to side. As for how it writes it is comparable to most Chinese pens in the under $10 price range. It’s a medium nib and it’s a decently smooth writer.

It might not matter to most but the end caps at both end of the pen are solid instead of the shimmer material used in the body of the pen.
