    Default Hello!

    Hello everyone! I am so happy I found this forum! I am new to the world of fountain pens and have begun a small collection!
    My first fountain pen purchase is a Jinhao 8802 Fountain Pen Fine Nib Deep Sea Bright Pearl Shell and I am using PARKER QUINK Ink in Blue-Black.


    I am a lefty and this pen seems to be working out for me VERY WELL as I don't have any ink stains on the side of my writing hand!!!

    I was able to acquire a lot of pens (I don't mean many, I mean a group sold together) and I found one that is interesting. I was wondering is anyone could help me get more info on it.
    I found the manufacturer and some literature online, but I cannot find any other information - could you tell me how I go about asking for help?

    If the pen fits one of the categories in the Pens Forum by brand or region, post your questions with in-focus photos of the cap & clip, barrel, nib and feed (under the nib). If your pen does not fit a brand or region, post in the Pens in General Forum.

    For help with photos, here is Chrissy's concise description of the procedure: https://fpgeeks.com/forum/showthread...l=1#post236038

    Welcome! I have the same pen; it was my 2nd. I quite like it although it is rather heavy. I currently have Diamine Registrar's Blue-Black in it for writing checks, signing, and other such stuff.

    A pic would not be unwelcome . Meanwhile here is mine (in the middle).
