writerstephenIs there any proof that it is a Chinese nib?
Regal is a Taipei company and their homepage says that nibs are made of Iridium made in Germany.
kimwookI’ve checked out their website and I’m not convinced I’m wrong. I’ve owned a couple regals, back when I was a noob, and they’re of no better quality than your average Jinhao—just more expensive. All of their pens use exactly the same #5 nib, and I surmise that it’s the same Chinese steel/german tipping material situation as I described in my comment above, despite what regal says on its website.
