Here's a pen that may be interesting to discuss.
It walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, ... but in this case it's not a duck.

Here's a complete write up, which looks like this:

Sometimes I don't know what to expect from this -- I thought -- fountain pen forum.

Very interesting. Fascinating that they produced such a close clone. A pity the nib is uninteresting.

I was just going to ask how you found it. But then, how did you even know to look for it?

At least the nib is tipped
It's not uninteresting, it gets the job done without skipping or scratching, which is more than I can say about a lot of vintage nibs as it was found.
But it's not as nice as a flexible Eversharp, for instance, neither it has the Sheaffer feel.

IIRC, I was searching for vintage japan fountain pens on ebay.
