One of the most popular pens on the market today is the Pilot Vanishing Point. This is the early version of the pen known as the Namiki Vanishing Point. Namiki is the parent company that became known as the luxury brand and Pilot was the Americanized brand of more common everyday pens. These early pens were faceted with a more streamlined and integrated clip design. Yet, their quality was just as good if not better than the more modern pens. This one comes with a Namiki converter and takes modern Pilot converters and cartridges. There is only minimal wear from use. Its 14k gold nib is marked B for broad. You will find it writes closer to an American/European medium with a little feedback. This is the burgundy model. Click the headline for close-ups. 13.7cm closed.
