The Parker IM wannabe. The converter was broken on this one but the seller is replacing it free. I had to open up the tines a little as they were completely closed and did not allow any ink to flow. One good press with the thumbs and I had a decently wet writer. I am going to stub the nib on this one. I like to zoom in close on the Kaigelu's as they pay close attention to detail.

Great photos, Ivan! :D
It sure does look like a Parker IM wannabe.....I own an IM and it's a nice pen but why they didn't make the gold-coloured trim version with a gold-plated nib is beyond me....and the nib on the IM is too small for the pen (IMHO). Kaigelu seemed to get those two design features right so kudos to them! :clap2:

Thanks Maja. Mind posting photos of your IM?

I just noticed I forgot to wipe down the pen on that last photo. My fingerprints are all over it. :haha:

Only if they turn out OK---the last batch of photos I took (for Pentrace's PSF two days ago were dreadful--so please don't hold your breath ;)
Basically, it looks like the black pen with gold trim at the top of this picture: http://www.cultpens.com/acatalog/Parker-IM-Fountain-Pen.html#a13989

Great macro photos as usual.
Should send some of Mrs Bogn's dusting powder over so you can hotgraph your fingerprints properly ;)

Nice classic little black fountain pen look. The stylised kangaroo logo is pretty neat.
Is the grip section a rubbery material ?

Okay, yes, it does look a little odd with the gold furniture and silver colored nib. I agree that Kaigelu got it right with their interpretation. :D

:p on the dusting powder. :jester:

The grip section is a matte plastic or acrylic to use the fancy name. No not precious resin. :p
