Product Description
Type Sterling Japanese pen
Product Name Sterling Silver Collection - Dragon. We think this is the continuation of the Art Craft Silver series from the 1990s.
Manufacturer and Year Pilot, Japan -- 2016 (date imprint on nib)
Length 5-7/16"
Filling System Takes Pilot/Namiki-style cartridges and converters. Despite being a premium fountain pen model, this particular pen does not take the more elaborate Pilot CON-70 button converter which is too long to fit in the barrel. A Pilot piston converter is installed.
Color Sterling silver cap and barrel with black section. The design of the Dragon is painstakingly engraved with artistry and skill on the pen barrel and cap with exquisite Japanese artisanship
Nib MEDIUM 18k nib. It is rhodium plated and writes smoothly. Japanese fine nibs run narrow. The nib is engraved 316.
Condition Near mint condition with no cracks, chips, dents, dings, plating wear or brassing. This is a large, gorgeous, shiny, ornate pen that is designed with great care. There are light signs of handling and polishing marks on the unengraved areas of the cap and barrel. We don't think the pen has been inked. Because the pen is sterling silver these light markings are visible. The imprints are clear.
