My new Fountain Pen / Frankenpen.

Hongdian N7 with #32 unit and feed, and Wingsung 699 nib.

This pen does not accept default #6 nib units, and even if, the cap would not close. Additionally, there was no M nibs around as stock. I had to find a shorter #6 nib and fit into the pen.

After some research, I learned that WS 699 nibs are in same length, and #32 nib units fit into the body. Got spares, and voila, it's a nice wet writer!

@GoatJamesAz thank you! #frankenpen #ftw

Does it count as a #frankenpen if I take an old Parker Jotter and refill it with a Japanese gel pen refill? What about a Fisher Space Pen refill?

Such are the concerns of a #stationery dork.

Behold! 1950s (?) Esterbrook nib in 1980s Koh-I-Noor Rapidograph -- my first attempt at a #frankenpen! Isn't it ugly?

Yes, it writes; no, it doesn't leak (so far). It's been my #EDC for a week or so. #fountainpen 🖋️
