Platinum short fountain pen, made of stainless steel & black resin. This is a rare, discontinued model from Pilot, showcasing a sophisticated etched and engine-turned design. Known in Japan as "Shokkoku" (etching), this intricate grid pattern—often called "Ciselé" style by collectors—is carved into the metal and filled with black lacquer for permanent durability. The pattern is resistant to rubbing and will maintain its crisp contrast for a lifetime. It is an exceptional piece for those who appreciate fine vintage Japanese stationery. This fountain pen is a compact, easy-to-carry model. The body measures about 11 cm, so when writing, the cap is posted on the barrel end (making the total length about 15 cm). The cap fits securely on the back, providing stable writing comfort, though the balance shifts slightly toward the rear. 18k gold nib, EF nib.
