Pilot - Vanishing Point (Capless) Gold Trim - 自來水筆
The Pilot Vanishing Point aka Capless is made by the Pilot Pen Company (Japan, founded in 1918). It has the distinct feature that, unlike regular fountain pens, the nib is retractable like with a ball-point pen. The Precision Push-retraction system ensures the nib doesn't leak or dry out.
The body is made of brass, coated with black resin. The trims and pen clip are gold plated. The 18 karat gold nib is size M for medium. Japanese fountain pens usually write a size smaller compared to their Western counterparts, however this pen lays down a generous amount of ink in a line as thick as the Western M.
The pen is still in decent condition and everything works as it should. There are a few visible tiny scratches due to usage and age, but these are purely cosmetic. The pen comes with an ink converter. Box and papers are not included.
The pen comes with insured shipping.
Happy bidding!
