About This Model
Timsvintagepens is not a modern pens restoration and sales practice, but modern pens inevitably find their way to Timsvintagepens. My dividing line between modern and vintage pens is usually the absence of a latex sac and a sac filling mechanism; instead, they usually have cartridge/converters, pistons or captured pistons. Modern, larger batch pens are only rarely made of ebonite or celluloid, are usually made of acrylic resins.
About This Pen
China, 2000s. Black lacquered brass with Chinese characters commemorative of Three Kingdoms Era in China. Jinhao nib, C/C filler. The barrel engraving is:
乘风破浪会有时 A time will come to ride the wind and cleave the waves
惊涛骇浪亦无惧 Yet have no fear of great waves
太极八卦在其中 Tai Chi and Ba Gua are inside of him
风来运转定乾坤 Settle the world when the wind turns
(from my friend Elizabeth Xu)
