Which Pilots Are These ?

[Anirban4u]

Hi All,

 

I have in possession two pilots, one I picked up from ASApens, another from a lady via an online portal.

 

The shiny Gold Capped Pilot is an ED (Question to grammar Nazi's.. AN or A ED ?) (from ASApens)

The Brushed Chrome Capped Pilot has a 14kt Gold nib (My first gold nibbed pen.! )

But I do not know their models or anything.

Can anyone please tell me about these?

 

 

close up of the nib on the ED..

 

 

And yes, they need polishing

Thanks hari. U have done a beautiful review. Know any shop in Mumbai/Pune that sells these ?

Anirban- there is a sub-forum specifically for Japanese pens. Please make sure that you post in the correct forum.

I initially thought of that.

Can an admin plz move this ?

Or direct me how to ?

yes, but the cap is significantly smaller in length

Can it be a Korean Elite? There is a well known vendor selling Korean Elites from the 70s, this could be another model.

Hi Algester, I just found out the effort you took so as to identify the pens.
