It has arrived. Unexpectedly My jinhao x450 arrived within a week of ordering. I thought I got it from China, apparently not.

First impressions, it's heavy and shiny.
It has a nice heft to it, feels solid and higher quality than a quid and a half suggests. The finish is brilliant, no scratches etc, the enamel is flawless and the nip looks well made. Just need to wait for my diamine jet black ink to arrive as I want to use some good ink instead of cheap cartridges.
 
Mine arrived two weeks ago, in red flower/med nib. Cost : £0.99 + £0.99 delivery.
Didnt have to prime the nib, it was all smooth from the moment go.
What an absolute bargain for such a lovely pen!

thanks for enabling :)

Happy to see another 450-fan :)
I did in the end replace the nib but that's just because I like EF/F nibs - the stock nib is fantastic if you like a more wet, medium one

I have just looked these pens up on e-bay and I do wonder if a P.O.P. (Poor Old Pensioner) like me ought to pay £2:19 delivered for a fountain pen when you can buy a whole bundle of pencils for less at the supermarket......... hang on I have just spotted one up for auction, free delivery, the present bid is a tanner, that is sixpence for the younger members here, albeit it is six new pence which is a lot more! I am considering putting a bid in for ninepence, the auction does still have two days to run but I could consider using a sniping programme. I've just had a better idea UK Rob is the same age as me and has just retired so he is also now a P.O.P I think I'll ask him to go in with me that would make it fourpence ha'ppeny each and we could share it! Brilliant idea I'll message him!

Regards
Dick.
