Inkquiring Minds | Building a Fountain Pen From a Bag of Parts Wing Sung 601 @InkquiringMinds | Uploaded June 2023 | Updated October 2024, 2 days ago.
The Wing Sung 601 is a great, modern version of the famous Parker 51 Vacumatic made from 1941 to 1948. I bought all the parts individually and show you how to build the pen from a bag. I talk about the parts and features of the pen, provide some measurements, and then do a writing sample. After the writing sample, I talk about what I like and what I don't like about the pen. Please feel free to use the chapters provided below to skip to various parts of the review.
