For sale: Pilot Myu 701, cartridge/converter with integrated stainless steel fine nib <”F”> and stainless steel body.

 

IMO, one of Pilot’s most interesting innovations in the 1970s was their creation of stainless steel pens with “integrated” stainless steel nibs. The nib and the section are all “of a piece”, and the resulting look is striking. There were two versions, the Myu, which had the same basic profile as Pilot’s other pocket pens such as the Elite, and the Murex, a full-sized (but not too big) version which had rings etched around the grip to give it a bit of texture.

 

I had one of these last month, and I have obtained another opportunity for you to obtain a nicely-functional Pilot Myu “on the cheap”. The pen arrived with a slightly bent nib which also had a “wound” about halfway up the slit. The body and cap are in good shape, and the urushi lacquer on the feed is also quite good. Still, the nib earns it a grade of D.

 

I was again able to do a passable job on fixing the nib, (see the album for before and after shots), and now the pen produces a wet, medium-fine line with the integrated nib feel that is characteristic of these pens. I really like how it writes, but if you like, I can adjust it to write drier, which will also probably make it finer.

 

The pen will ship with a Pilot ink cartridge.
