PILOT CUSTOM 742

NOTES:

Reminiscent of the larger Urushi Balance type pens (though not as large as the Custom 743) manufactured by Pilot before the Second World War, the Pilot Custom 742 invokes the economic rise of Taisho Era Japan during the roaring 20s. The Pilot Custom 742 shares the same legendary quality of nib as its pre-war predecessor, but with a cartridge convertor filling system for modern convenience for work or play.

Country of Origin and Dates of Manufacture -- Japan, 1993-Present

Length: ~146mm

Filling System: Pilot cartridge or Con-70  

Notes on individual pens:

Color: Black with gold trim

Nib(s): (Ultra) extra fine (This ultra-extra fine is perfect for artists that need extremely fine lines, for people who write in漢字(Hanzi), 漢字(Kanji), and 漢字(Hanja), or for prospective officials attempting to cheat on the Chinese Metropolitan Exam by writing cheat sheets on their underpants with Chinese characters the size of a pin prick.).
