Product Description
Type Modern fountain pen with a converter.
Product Name Custom 74.
Manufacturer and Year Pilot (Namiki), Japan -- 2015. Date code on nib is 715.
Length A hair over 5-5/8".
Filling System It takes Pilot cartridges and converters. A CON-70 button converter is installed. This is the higher end converter offered by Pilot. We did not check whether or not other Pilot converters will fit but generally you can use converters with lower numbers than the one installed but not higher. In this case that means all Pilot converters should fit. The box holds an unused Pilot cartridge.
Color Solid dark pen. It is the dark blue version. It is incredibly difficult to make out the blue, but when a light is held inside the barrel we can tell. Another clue that it is the blue version is the blue semi-transparent feed which we expect to match the pen color.
Nib Soft Fine 14k #5 Nib. It is labeled SF. The Pilot soft nibs have tines that spread enough for some line variation. We consider this a modern semi-flexible nib.
Condition Near Mint condition. The pen has low handwear and the trim looks great. There are only a few microscratches on the cap band. No cracks, chips, dents, or major scratches. Ships in Pilot box with a cartridge and an installed converter.
