    Default Jinhao with flex G-nib

    This is a Jinhao X450 with a gold-plated full-flex G nib. The feed is long and skinny, and appears to have been made specifically for the G nib. I tried it out with a regular fountain pen ink, and it worked fine for a bit, and then would start to railroad. If I advanced the converter a turn or so it would stop railroading, until it started again. I read somewhere that if I used a thicker ink, like some of the Noodler's inks (I think X-Feather was mentioned, IIRC), that might solve the railroading problem, but I didn't really care to keep monkeying with it. So if anyone wants it, say so in a post to this thread. In a bit I'll see if there are any nibbles, and if more than one, use the name in a hat method to pick the winner. I'll even pay the postage, CONUS only.

    The pen looks black in the photos, but is actually a subtly mottled very dark green.

    Sorry about the out-of-focus photo of the feed.
