I’ve been using this pen for a while, not sure how long with the hero 234 ink. It’s perfect. The nib and the pen itself still has the old moonman branding....
Broad nib and Diamine Communication Breakdown ink. It’s my only Sailor pen. I wish I could write something smart about it but it just writes! The engraving on the nib is a bottle of sake together with a cup and three sakura petals falling into the cup.

A gift from my wife. A La Grande or 146 with an oblique broad nib.
