The Story
The 'stealth' Capless - in stunning matt black with black trim. Rhodium-plated 18k gold nib, boxed and in mint condition.
The convenient, reliable push-button retract mechanism neatly seals the nib behind a shutter system, preventing drying out or leaks. However, the Pilot Capless is as renowned among fountain pen enthusiasts for the quality of its excellent gold nib as much as for the intriguing and innovative retracting mechanism.
The 18K gold nib is a delight, the softness of it is such that if you want to use it for daily writing you can, without having to flex it out. Though if you do want to showcase line variation, all you need to do is increase your writing pressure on the downstrokes and it's there for when you need it.
The Nitty-Gritty
There are no major imperfections to note, no chips splits or engravings.
The pen has been inked and shows very minor signs of handling and use, but is a perfect example, in mint condition. Complete with box, papers, converter and cartridge, with retail tag, as new
