Thank you for visiting!This is not just a \"used\" pen, but a true vintage collector\'s item from the 1970s (Showa era in Japan). It is a highly sought-after model by fountain pen enthusiasts worldwide.

[3 Proofs of Authentic Vintage]1. JIS Mark on the Nib: Just below the 14K-585 engraving on the nib, you can see the circled \"JIS\" (Japanese Industrial Standards) mark. This mark was only engraved on Pilot nibs until the mid-1980s. This is absolute proof that this pen is a genuine Showa-era product from about 40-50 years ago.2. Original \"CUSTOM\" Clip Design: Unlike the modern Pilot Custom series (which features a teardrop clip), this pen features the iconic straight clip with a black resin band and gold \"CUSTOM\" lettering. This is the distinctive signature of the very first Pilot Custom models introduced in the 1970s.3.
