Pilot - Capless “Faceted” - Fountain pen

A0000005012
The Pilot Capless “Faceted” presented in this lot is in very good overall condition, standing out for maintaining an elegant and balanced aesthetic typical of high-end Japanese vintage models. The faceted black resin body retains a deep, uniform shine, with light signs of use consistent with a piece carefully preserved over the years.

The metal elements show good visual presence, preserving their original finish with very slight micro-scratches derived from handling and normal use. The integrated front clip, characteristic of the Capless series, maintains good tension and alignment. The retractable plunger (button) works correctly, offering a smooth and precise action.

The 14K solid gold retractable nib is in good condition, correctly aligned and prepared for smooth and reliable writing. The front cap closes properly, helping to preserve nib moisture and preventing premature ink drying.

This is a fountain pen especially appreciated by collectors due to its iconic faceted design, a configuration that is now discontinued and considerably harder to find than the modern rounded versions of the Pilot Capless.

The piece has been inspected and is delivered operational and ready for use.

Conservation recommendations:
Use high-quality fountain pen inks, avoiding pigmented inks. Clean with lukewarm water if not used for a while. Dry completely before storing. Keep in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Operate the retractable mechanism gently to preserve the internal system.

It will be shipped in a courtesy box for proper conservation. Happy bidding!
