The BAOER 388 fountain pen is one of the best pens coming from China. It has what I would call a medium nib and writes very smoothly and looks great. I have been using the BAOER 388 fountain pen for almost two years now and it has worked flawlessly. I have been buying pens from China for my personal collection for a few years now and the quality of this pen is very good. Another great pen to add to my collection and yours. I am amazed at the quality and how well some of these Chinese pens work. I enjoy writing with my fountain pens and cycle through them yearly using each pen for several weeks at a time. This gives me a chance to compare each pen and to see how well they hold up and how well they continue to write. I personally sample one of each of the pens that I sell to make sure that they write smoothly and are a good quality pen. If you are interested in fountain pens and don't have a lot of money to spend, this is a great starting point. Each fountain pen comes with five ink cartridges, or if you prefer you can use the included ink converter, allowing you to immediately start using your new pen. Shipped from USA. Save the waiting time of shipping from China and the hassle of dealing or returning a pen over seas. Pens are in stock and usually ship within two days.
