The short pocket version of the Jinhao 82
Not enough independent discussion to score this one honestly — catalogue data only.
What it is
A pocket-length 82 with the same cap and section as the full-size pen but a shorter barrel. Launched in four acrylic and three solid plastic colours.
A short version of the Jinhao 82, which copies the Sailor Pro Gear Slim shape. FPN members called it a 'PG Mini'. Cap and section interchange with the full-size 82.

- Some units arrive with test ink in the feed
- Short unposted for large hands
A cheap pocket pen that shares the 82's nib and cap; good if you want the 82 in a shorter body.
