Pilot Custom 74 Fountain Pen - Violet

The Custom 74 is designed to delight the fountain pen collector with its translucent ‘demonstrator-style’ barrel and archetypal embellishments. A special mechanism in the converter ensures a fluid and continuous flow of ink with no skipping for a premium, expressive writing experience. The nib is finely crafted from 14-karat gold and is rhodium plated to match the rhodium trim and clip. The nib is available in extra fine, fine, medium or broad point sizes. This classical demonstrator pen is refillable for continued use with a cartridge or Pilot’s CON-70 converter and arrives packaged in a striking presentation box.

Notes from the The Pleasure of Writing Team

Pilot’s classic 14k gold nib fountain pen is everything you could want. Available in a cigar shape in a variety of colors, the 74 uses a #5 nib, which is a generous size perfect for everyday usage and writes with Japanese width. It writes very smoothly and with some wetness, so you might find yourself inking it fairly often with either Pilot’s proprietary cartridges or convertors, which make it a perfect traveling pen.
