I tossed this Jinhao 85 on an Ali order to hit a free shipping threshold, and it's not too bad for $6. The hooded nib reminds me of the Hongdian C1. Colors are nice, but it's not really my style overall. Definitely trying to look like a Parker with that clip (51). Writes reasonably well and since it's a twist cap I'm hoping it seals well.

Photo of a fountain pen and cap on white paper. The cap is yellow-ish metal, the main part of the cap is matte finish and has ridges running the length of the cap. The ring around the bottom and the clip are both shiny. The clip is roughly shaped like an arrow, sort of like Parker pens have. The pen has a hooded nib encased by a black section. Above the section is a shiny yellow ring with threads. The body of the remainder of the pen is a dark and shiny blue.
