"Received the Hero '900' in good order. I know
they make fountain pens that
sell for multiple thousands of dollars, but could they write any better than
this model? Super product. Looks great too."
The Hero Oversize '900' series. These pens are part of Hero's "Doctor" line of fine pens. These are large and hefty pens, measuring 5-3/4" capped and 6-3/4" posted, and have a two-toned, 14K medium nib. The nib is engraved with the Hero "H", as well as "14K" and "900". The barrel and cap are both finished with 14K gold-plate highlights. The cap band says "Doctor 900" on the clip side, and "Made in Hero China"! on the back. The clip says "Doctor" in a flowing script, and the cap is topped by a large, 1/2" CZ 'jewel'. The pen includes a large capacity pump filler for ink bottle filling. The cap clicks on with a secure and satisfying 'snap', and even given its size, the pen is quite light and well-balanced. A Hero 14K medallion accompanies the pen, and it comes boxed. These are not subtle pens, but rather ones which definitely make a classy statement. Not recommended for the demure or shy!

IMPORTANT SERVICE NOTE: Every nib that ships from His Nibs is closely examined under high magnification and tuned or adjusted if needed. About 85% of modern nibs need some adjustment out-of-the-box from the manufacturer for an optimal writing experience. Most commonly, the tines of the nib are misaligned -- which would cause scratchiness at the minimum; the slit between the tines is partially or fully closed -- which would starve the nib of ink and at best cause skipping; or the slit between the tines is too wide -- which will either again cause skipping, or conversely, flooding. There are other factors -- such as separation of the nib from the feed -- that are inspected and repaired before any pen leaves the Palace.
The only 100% guarantee of course
comes when the pen is
actually filled with ink and written with for the first time, but our
pre-shipping inspections and tunings have eliminated 99.99999 (my finger is
getting tired) of the frustrations that a customer experiences when first using
a new fountain pen. Although this can be time-consuming on occasion, it affords
our customers a much more pleasant experience when receiving a fountain pen from
His Nibs -- and saves us the frustration of dealing with returns!

Warranties and returns If an item proves to be defective, in most cases the manufacturer's warranty will apply. However, please email us first so that we can determine the easiest way to resolve the problem to your satisfaction. In the case of fountain pens -- which are a bit more individualistic than other writing instruments -- what may at first appear to be a defect (hard starting or poor flow for example), can in almost all cases be resolved with a few simple 'tweaks' to the nib, which we'll be happy to guide you through or perhaps suggest returning to us for adjustment. Should you wish to return a
non-defective item within 3 days of receipt because it doesn't suit
you for some reason, again please email us and we'll arrange an
exchange, credit or refund (minus any shipping/insurance charges),
if the item is returned in an 'as new' condition. If you've dipped a
fountain pen to try its writing characteristics, kindly clean off
any ink residue prior to shipping -- to save us both a nasty
surprise We want you to be happy with your purchase from His Nibs.com and hope to have you join the ranks of our many long-term, repeat customers!
