Product Description
Type Modern fountain pen with a converter.
Product Name Custom 74.
Manufacturer and Year Pilot (Namiki), Japan -- 2016. Date code on nib is 216.
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.
Color Clear blue demonstrator with semi-transparent black end pieces and section. The trim is rhodium plated. This color is called "Blue Tint."
Nib Medium 14k #5 Nib. It is labeled M. Very smooth and springy. The nib is rhodium masked.
Condition Superior condition. The pen has very low handwear and the trim looks great. The surface of the pen is nearly perfect but since it's a demonstrator you can see usage signs. The section has some inky water residue from submerging the pen too deeply when filling it. The inner part of the barrel also has some microscratching probably from converter contact. No other scratches, cracks, dings, or dents. Ships in Pilot box.
