Scrolling through my Instagram feed, I saw an ad for the new(?) Jacques Herbin fountain pens. I tried to take a look at their website but found little to no informations. Plastic, generic nibs (Jowo? Bock?), C/C fillers for 200 euro
Anyone here has additional informations?

Didn't know they made pens (least not high end) other than the two $20 USD or less clear ones like the liquid ink roller ball and fountain pens, and some of the glass nibbed , and dip pens and stuff similar to the Sheaffer calligraphy set.
Anyways I found it on their website where it's the full Jacques Herbin fountain pen name (and not J.Herbin)

Bout the same kind of information you're going to see about Faber-Castell design line (Which too are also resin/plastic, with steel bock nibs, and are also standard international cartridge/converter).
Not seeing a lot of google results from before the end of 2017. Think maybe they're re-branding themselves as high end, like Pilot did with Iroshizuku and Namiki brands?
Faber Castell offers premium materials for their 200 euro pen, or am I wrong?
I mean the fancy woods, like coconut or those with exotic hides.
Faber Castell is their lower end line, such as the FC Loom (which is a very nice pen, imho. I own one!) The more expensive line is called Graf von Faber Castell and includes the Intuition line with exotic woods (around US$350+) , and their limited edition lines and year of the pen which are in the US$1000+ or even several thousand dollars.Quote:

(They're bock).Quote:
