Baoer 79 Black :
Just received this pen today - a Montblanc Starwalker clone for just $ 6.98 from ebay. I have a Crocodile 232 as well and compared both, and inferred that at $ 28.00 the crocodile 232 does not offer much extra. The pen comes in chrome trim and titanium color plated section. Grip curvature does add to the writing comfort. The nib was quite smooth and with a slight tuning on micromesh 12000 it has become silk smooth now. This is a brass body pen with matte lacquer finish, I find it reasonably light for a brass pen. Fit and finish are very good, no sloppy ends here. The acrylic cap finial makes the pen very attractive to me. Wring balance both with and without the cap posted is quite good. The steel nib is quite simple looking and stiff [ the one on the crocodile 232 is dual tone flex and ornate, but does not warrant the extra $20 though, in fact many other Baoer's come with two tone nibs.]. Usual converter filled system, standard international converter. I have attached a handwriting sample and some photos below. This pen would need a little time to get used to. Happy to get a Montblanc clone for just about 7 dollars.
