Product Description
Type Fountain pen
Product Name Justus, this is the original model from the 1970s and is not the same as the current Justus 95. The latter is inspired by the former and has the same nib.
Manufacturer and Year Pilot (Namiki), Japan -- 1970s.
Length 5-9/16"
Filling System Takes Pilot cartridges and converters. A CON-50 converter is installed.
Color Black colored resin with gold trim. Cap and barrel have a ribbed pattern.
Nib Fine 14k nib. This is a special nib that is adjustable from Hard to Soft. The Hard setting is meant to be firm and the Soft setting is meant to have some flex. Reports on the web vary as to the effectiveness of this feature, but the pen is a smooth writer and very attractive.
Condition Excellent condition. The pen has almost no handwear. The barrel has only a few cap marks from posting. The cap trim is the weakest part of the pen, it has some plating wear including pitting marks on the clip and the edge of the bands. There are a few shallow scratches near the cap lip as well.
