Filling System This filling system has a few names but the two main ones are "knob filler" and "quarter turn." It is the filling system Pilot used between the lever filling and the aerometric/accordion filling systems. It has been tested and it's working well. You push down on the lever at the top of the filling system to compress an internal sac and fill accordingly.
Color Black body and gold plated cap.
Nib Extra Fine 14k nib. It is marked, "Pilot 14k." and is springy. The size is not marked, but it's between an extra fine and a fine. The springiness of the nib is enough to give you line variation between EF - M. See writing sample below.
Condition Superior condition, in vintage Pilot leather case. Barrel and cap are both shiny, with no significant marks on them. No cracks or chips. The imprint on the barrel is slightly faded, but still quite readable.
