For sale: Pilot Custom 743, cartridge/converter, with 14k medium nib <M> and black resin body.

 

The classic “30,000 yen” model cigar-shaped from Pilot. Comparable in profile to the vacuum-filling Custom 823, but lighter due to the absence of the more complicated filling mechanism.

 

This pen, though approaching 25 years of age, is in exemplary condition. Just the microscratches one would expect and nothing more. As expected, the #15 medium nib delivers on the “buttah” experience that Pilot is known for. An easy grade B, pushing B+.

As many of us know, Pilot has just recently raised their prices, and while not as extreme as the U.S. hikes, the “gray market” prices have gone up as well. IMO this pen is priced competitively with respect to both.

 

The pen will ship with a Pilot ink cartridge.
