This is literally just a rebranded Baoer 3035 (Chinese pen) that you can purchase on certain websites for about $3 shipped.
That being said, it IS a nice entry level pen, and the Nib options are Nice.

camelfaceI have long and hard perused reviews of Baoer pens and have come to the conclusion that Baoer nibs are thin and thus very easy to spring or otherwise damage. Which is why I think that if Italix has stuck their nib into it, it should be a significant improvement. I'm tempted by this drop bc I think I need more italics in my collection, but it's currently competing with other two FPs (non-italic, alas) that I'm currently drooling over, and I've just got three Tactile Turn pens in the mail, so I think I'll pass, or I'll go broke way too soon. But from what I've read earlier on Italix drops, their nibs are good. So I think this pen is worth the asking price on account of the nib.

keybersThe reason it's worth asking about the nib is that their other more expensive pens use grounded Jovo nibs which are respectable in their own right. I doubt this one uses a Jovo nib or else it would not be this price.
