Here. I am trying the Golden Star Snake-skin Fountain pen on my Moleskin journal. The surprise-there are no bleeds or creeps which are often encountered by users of Moleskine.

The pen was filled quickly after 4-5 presses on the press bar filler though I was at first apprehensive whether the intake will work for this vintage Chinese pen.
Though a little toothy, the nib lays down a nice wet line, and it is surprisingly more generous than most Chinese pens, including my Hero 100.They say that this pen is about 30 years old (or could be older), but the workmanship is in my opinion, of commendable quality. what I however, like about this pen is how little pressure it needs-just what a fountainpen should do.

This fountain pen is a rare find from Beijing, China. This is produced by Golden Star Pen Company based in Beijing and sold to me by a pen shop there. I was told that the snakes (small ones) were reared by Golden Star for their factory. In fact, GS pens are now hard to find even in Beijing and one has to hunt and leave through old stationery shops to find them. This pen, as I was told is more than 30 years old but does not look a day older.

It is slim but not thin and seems to be made very well with clean finishing. I will try out the pen in the next few days perhaps with Visconti ink just in case the feed here is not so forgiving.
