His Nibs.com update --
Hero Accountant & Wing Sung
February 4th, 2007
This week brings the return of a real
favorite, the Hero 237-1 Accountant pen --
with its XXF nib -- and a 'new' model Wing
Sung. The Wing Sung 233 is a new model for
the website, but these pens are actually NOS
(new, old stock).

Hero 237-1 Accountant

Although I wasn't able to obtain more of the
XF version this time, the extremely popular
XXFs are back in stock.
"Norman, just wanted to let you know I
received the Hero Accountant pens last week,
and they're wonderful - it's the finest point
I've found in a fountain pen, and I'm
surprised at the quality for this price.
Thanks again!" M. M., Salt Lake City, UT
"Norman, I just received my new Hero 237-1
"Accountant" pens - THEY ARE FABULOUS!!! I
tend to like a finer nib on my pens, and have
found most to be a bit scratchy . . . . Not
these . . . . They have a VERY fine point,
but write like butter. As usual, your
products are everything you claim them to be.
I look forward to using these pens at work,
and dispensing with the ball-points and
roller-balls that I have in my desk, you
know, the ones that skip or leave big blobs
of ink. Thanks again." T. H., Vancouver, WA
"Hello Norman. I love the pens. They draw
a fine line, but do not skip. Filled one with
Chocolat and the other with Lake Placid Blue.
These are great checkbook pens. They would
probably be highly regarded by "Moleskin"
devotees." J.G., Fredericksburg, VA

Wing Sung #233
http://www.hisnibs.com/WingSung233Group2_small.jpg
Reminiscent of the Sheaffer TM of the early
1950's, these pens measure about 5-1/2"
capped and a full 6" posted. The pen sports a
steel cap with subtle pinstriping and a
spring-loaded clip. The cap band is marked
with the Chinese characters for 'Wing Sung',
as well as the model number '233' and 'Wing
Sung' in English.
Removing the slip cap -- which securely snaps
back into place -- displays the wrap-around,
conical nib. It's gold-plated steel, and
equates to a western fine. Like most nibs
designed for the Asian market, it's designed
to be firm for writing the more intricate
Chinese characters. The nib is engraved with
the Chinese characters for 'Wing Sung', along
with 'Made in China' written in English.
Also readily apparent is the ambered ink-vue
window, which allows the user to instantly
determine when it's time for a refill.
Unscrewing the barrel reveals the pump-style
filler, for use with bottled ink.

On the blog...Death on the High Seas
"When the QE2 docked at Southampton on
January 2, the liner was one passenger short:
a 62-year-old German woman was missing. She
is just one of a growing list of people who
have disappeared from cruise ships in
mysterious circumstances. Some of these
deaths may be suicides, writes Gwyn Topham,
but others appear more sinister. And of
course there are no police out on the ocean .
. ."
With more than 30 people having disappeared
from cruise ships in the last 5 years alone,
the mystery continues.
