"Hi Norm, Just wanted to let you know I've used the two pens [Flowers] for  few days now and couldn't be happier, both were great writers from the first fill.  Thanks again."

S. C.

"Hello Norman, advising you that the Beautiful Peony pen arrived safely today. It writes very smoothly indeed.  Thanks once more for your usual attention and prompt service. Warm regards,"

Lanbitou scores again with a full-sized fountain pen at a great price...this time featuring beautiful blooming Peony flowers. The pen measures 5-1/2" capped, 6-1/2" posted and 4-7/8" with cap held aside.

 

 

 

The flowers are beautifully rendered in pink, with gold leaves -- as well as a couple of little bees buzzing around! -- against the various barrel colors available. Just above the flowers are Chinese characters, which convey the thought that a blooming flower symbolizes prosperity.

                               

 

The gold highlights are continued with the cap band, clip and 'jewel' on the cap top.

 

 

                                 

 

The model has a slip cap, which re-seats with a secure 'click', and friction-posts on the barrel-end if so desired. Removing the cap reveals the two-toned, gold-plated steel nib, which I would describe as light-medium, meaning it falls between a typical western fine and medium width.

The section is textured at the rear and smooth toward the nib, allowing for more than one gripping option.

 

 

 

 

                                                  

 

Unscrewing the threads between the section and barrel displays the piston converter -- with ink agitator -- for bottled ink. The pen will also fit international-style ink cartridges, such as those from Private Reserve (including the larger MAXI cartridges).. As with all new pens, I recommend to run a dilute solution of dishwashing soap (two or three drops to a small bowl of water) through a new pen a few times, followed by water only. Step one is effective at removing manufacturing oils that can tend to make the ink less than enthusiastic in heading from the converter/filler to the nib, and step two removes the traces of the detergent you've used...which tends to have the opposite, diuretic effect.

 

IMPORTANT SERVICE NOTE: Every nib that ships from His Nibs is closely examined under high magnification and tuned or adjusted if needed. About 85% of modern nibs need some adjustment out-of-the-box from the manufacturer for an optimal writing experience. Most commonly, the tines of the nib are misaligned -- which would cause scratchiness at the minimum; the slit between the tines is partially or fully closed -- which would starve the nib of ink and at best cause skipping; or the slit between the tines is too wide -- which will either again cause skipping, or conversely, flooding. There are other factors  -- such as separation of the nib from the feed -- that are inspected and repaired before any pen leaves the Palace.

The only 100% guarantee of course comes when the pen is actually filled with ink and written with for the first time, but our pre-shipping inspections and tunings have eliminated 99.99999 (my finger is getting tired) of the frustrations that a customer experiences when first using a new fountain pen. Although this can be time-consuming on occasion, it affords our customers a much more pleasant experience when receiving a fountain pen from His Nibs -- and saves us the frustration of dealing with returns!

Warranties and returns

If an item proves to be defective, in most cases the manufacturer's warranty will apply. However, please email us first so that we can determine the easiest way to resolve the problem to your satisfaction. In the case of fountain pens -- which are a bit more individualistic than other writing instruments -- what may at first appear to be a defect (hard starting or poor flow for example), can in almost all cases be resolved with a few simple 'tweaks' to the nib, which we'll be happy to guide you through or perhaps suggest returning to us for adjustment.

Should you wish to return a non-defective item within 3 days of receipt because it doesn't suit you for some reason, again please email us and we'll arrange an exchange, credit or refund (minus any shipping/insurance charges), if the item is returned in an 'as new' condition. If you've dipped a fountain pen to try its writing characteristics, kindly clean off any ink residue prior to shipping -- to save us both a nasty surprise .

We want you to be happy with your purchase from HisNibs.com and hope to have you join the ranks of our many long-term, repeat customers!
