[WTS] Two 18k Pilot Elites, Script nibs
($65 - $70)
For sale today are two Pilot Elite pocket pens with 18k Script nibs. Both pens write smoothly and can sustain a slightly heavier hand when writing. The differences that I perceive in their current performance probably stems from the different ink that I have in them, but they both have very forgiving nibs, performance wise. They exhibit a line that is similar to a Pilot <F>, but the feel is that they can take more pressure. Both Elites take modern Pilot cartridges and the Con-20 or Con-40 converters.
The red Elite has scrollwork on its gold toned metal cap. The back cap and section are red and the nib is 18 and has a yellow gold tone. The nib has a nice sloping design that Pilot abandoned last century, and is very lovely. The back cap is dated KB15 which translates to xxxx. I’d rate this a C+ as there are light use scratches on the caps. $70 USPS insured and shipped.
***SOLD*** The black Elite is closer in design to the modern day E95s or Elite. It sports a black plastic caps and section. The back cap is dated KK01 and its exactly the same size as the other Elite. The 18k nib is yellow gold and sports the same double breather hole nib too. Both pens have their nib date obscured and it can only be viewed by disassembly. $65 USPS insured and shipped.
