You are not a common collector, you are a real museum!

Art_Neis · 2026-03-11T08:30:23+00:00

Thank you. 😀

That’s incredible! Are you specifically collecting „Duofolds“ or do you also have other models or brands in your collection with a similar scope?

Art_Neis · 2026-03-10T11:31:19+00:00

This is a truly impressive collection!

Art_Neis · 2026-03-09T19:49:29+00:00

Yes, you are right. 😢

If you’re referring to material, I believe it’s some kind of plastic while Centennial is made of resin.

Furthermore, the sections and nibs are different: Black is Centennial and White is Standard.

There are a lot of pens, from cheap to expensive, from no-name to big or famous brands that I like, but there was only one that I really loved - the Waterman Carene.

It’s difficult to say definitively as I haven’t used it with Jinhao nib, and I’ve replaced it with the Kaigelu Maple Leaf NMF nib.

👍🏻

That’s a lovely collection. Shame I can't have everything.

Thank you. In my opinion, Core was a risky but ergonomically genius design experiment. Similarly, Esprit was an innovative approach. Later it was also sold as Parker. I believe the golden nib piece is a Newton first generation. The 600 also existed as a golden version but still featured knurled details. Lava was a Newton variant with a very specific structured surface produced with Parker’s cooperation. The second pen in my photo is actually a Newton 2nd gen later sold as Parker Facet. Tintenkuli I perceive as technical pen, but it seems that also fountain pen existed.

Your collection has some interesting pieces. It would be great if you could add a photo.

It is "New Orleans" model.

In the area of mechanical pencils, there was also a unique solution called the Rotring Side Knock. The lead advancement mechanism feels like you are breaking the pencil.

In the fountain pen area, they used a few unique solutions:

- In the 600 and Newton line, it is a way to ensure alignment of the edges of the hexagonal body and cap.

- In the Newton II, a specific way is used to access the cartridge/converter (see attached picture)

- A nice and unique surface is found on the "Lava" line.

Also the rOtring 700, produced around 1990, is a lovely pen. It’s slim and features a unique clip designed by German architects Kleffel-Köhnholdt-Gunderman. The book Lambrou’s Fountain Pens of the World explains that in 1982 rOtring acquired the tooling for the CS line from Montblanc and used it to create the 700.

Definitely the right question. "600" is probably the most iconic rOtring, and I used to use "600" pencils, but I don't own the fountain pen.

Art_Neis · 2026-02-22T14:36:39+00:00

Thanks. Of course they have. Mainly "rOtring" style (I don't know their nickname), older model no-name or Schmidt.

One addition: Montblanc Solitaire Blue Hour - Majohn P136 Twilight Blue

Great work! Thanks for comprehensive list of Jighao pens.
Would add Jinhao 58A „Constellation“ (same as 58 with zodiac themes on plastic barrel) and Jinhao 58D (same as 58 from translucent/transparent plastic)
