Product Description
Type Capless fountain pen -- the nib retracts like a ballpoint
Product Name Decimo. The Decimo is a slightly slimmer version of Pilot's Vanishing Point retractable fountain pen - the diameter at the grip of the VP is 11.8mm, whereas the Decimo's grip diameter is 10.6mm. Additionally, the Decimo is lighter - 20.6g vs. 30g for the VP. If you love the retractability and ease of deployment of the Vanishing Point, but it's just a touch too big or heavy, the Decimo may be a better fit for you.
Manufacturer and Year Pilot (Namiki) Japan -- 2012, according to the date stamp (312) on the nb.
Length 5-1/2"
Filling System Pilot cartridge or converter. A dummy cartridge is currently installed with the metal cartridge cover, which is recommended to keep the cartridge from being pierced by the internal mechanisms. (No converter is included with this sale.)
Color Deep red metallic lacquer with chrome trim.
Nib 18k Fine Nib, rhodium plated
Condition New in Box condition. When we acquired the pen, it was still sealed in the plastic bag from the factory. We removed this to double-check and photograph the pen, but other than that inspection it has never been used. The pen has no cracks, chips, dents, dings, or even scratches. The deep red shimmering color is gorgeous! The imprints are crystal clear. Ships in original Pilot box with paperwork and a Pilot black cartridge. The nib size sticker is still attached to the barrel, and the clip tag is also attached.
