alfredekI actually have a celluloid Chinese pen that is quite good. It only cost me $30, but the nib is shockingly good for that price. It will also fit a standard gold nib, but I cannot find any that are not $300 (would love if someone had a good gold nib source). Not everything from China is bad, but at $130, one would expect that it would be made in the US/EU/Japan, or have a gold nib.
alfredekActually the fitting, clips and plating are produced in Taiwan. The nib is German made. The wood comes
from North American and we color the wood, turn the bodies and do the assembly in Washington. The free inks are bottled in Indiana and the free leather. pen slip is made in New York.
Sorry this is a top quality item and it's not made in china.
