The clip and click fitting look identical to a kit called the Manhattan, although your photo shows a shorter barrel and a longer nib fitting. The Manhattan is possibly THE worst kit I have EVER come across by virtue of the fact that absolutely every part of it is so incredibly tinny and taccy, and the overall design is too fat for its style.


Your piccies do look more elegant than the Manhattan however, because of the longer nib fitting, and if you can up the ante on build quality of the fittings, I think it could fill a gap for a good click pen. The problem, as you have already posted, is that all the click mechanisms that come out of Taiwan are the same, presumably sourced from the same place, and are not great.
