Pilot Volex, a vintage Japanese-made short fountain pen from the 1970s (Showa era). This is a Japan-exclusive model, produced on the same line as the Pilot Myu and featuring a similar integrated nib design. Positioned as a high-end offering at the time, it comes with an osmium-alloy-tipped "F" (fine) nib. It features a classic black grip section paired with a brushed stainless steel barrel and uses a cartridge-based ink system. The pen is in condition suitable for daily use; there is some plating loss on the metal ring of the grip section, and the barrel bears an engraving. Please refer to the actual photos—no original box is included. It offers a smooth writing experience, making it a classic, vintage steel-nibbed pen that is perfect for both niche collecting and everyday writing. No other accessories are included.
