    Post For Sale: Onoto Xu Zhimo 1/100 (gold vermeil) with CI nib

    Onoto Xu Zhimo 1/100 (one of a kind) with cursive italic medium nib.

    This pen is beautiful, it has an awesome internal piston mechanism, and since it's 1/100 it has the entire pen done in gold vermeil versus the mixture of sterling and vermeil the rest have.

    I bought this pen intending to keep it forever, aka the clip engraving, but circumstances have changed.

    Since the clip has an engraving, i'm willing to discuss price. $4000 OBO, offers welcome!

    What's with the Aurora nib in photo 8?

    Sorry, it was late at night when I posted and the thumbnails are small. Should be gone now.

    Is the clip solid gold as well ? engraving could be gold solder filled then gold electroplated for colour consistency.

    I believe it is vermeil. Here's the link to Onoto's page about the pen. You'll notice mine is fully vermeil rather than partially, because it's the 1/100. It seems like an issue that could be solved by Onoto in some form, since all the clips use the gold vermeil for the series.

    I'm pretty flexible on this one due to the engraving. Dropping the price to $3,500 and I'm willing to talk if you're interested!

    It’s about 300 per Onoto to remove the engraving. You’ll have to send it in to them to get it done, but they say it can be removed completely. Due to that, I’m dropping the price on this one since the buyer will have to go through work to get it. It has a wonderful medium cursive italic nib that writes gorgeously. I’m sad to be getting rid of this one, but once again it’s been a hard year. Looking for $3,200 OBO, which is a steal for a pen with this level of Guilloche and metalwork.
