For sale: Pilot “U” (not Myu), cartridge/converter with 14k fine nib <F>, stainless steel cap, and black resin body.

 

I don’t know a whole lot about this model. It appears to be one of Pilot’s lower-end gold-nib offerings from the late 1970s. It has a slim body and brushed stainless steel snap cap. Any more information would be appreciated.

 

This pen is in generally quite good condition. The cap and finials are excellent, with no signs of corrosion; the body has some light scratching. It has an engraving “T’UYOSHI” on the bottom of the section, which gives the D part of the rating. Both the nib code and the body code date the pen to March of 1978 (the body dates it to March 13th).

 

The fine gold nib has an almost “LAMY”-ish profile, though it is skinnier on the nib end. It has some bounce and gentle pressure gives a small but pleasing line variation. The flow is adequate, and there is a bit of feedback.

 

The pen will ship with a Pilot ink cartridge.
