Nice pen.

 

Not quite a classic Deluxe although it uses the same classic nib. However, Pilot calls it a Deluxe.

Pilot has made a number of models recently in this mold.

Thier Spirits of Edo series of at least three models come to mind.

Note the stylized sword clip.

 

I have one of the Spirits of Edo models and it's a super pen. i use it regularly.

Am tempted to buy this pen. Looks like a beauty.

The pen and nib does look equivalent to my Pilot Deluxe Seigaiha pattern - one of my favourite pens. I'd love if this pattern came in a dark blue!

FWIW, the model comes in Sakura, cherry blossoms, as well. I like the maple leaves better.

Wow, those are beautiful. If they came in a darker base, like a maroon, I'd definitely get one. Would you mind explaining to me how they are different from the Deluxe model? This is the one I have :

It looks like the same nib and body to me, but I'd love to hear your insights :)

They are the same. Just different color lacquer different color section (white) and gold trim.

 

Your pen comes in a series of three called Edo Spirits. I have one different from yours.

I love it. Great writer.

 

I anticipate Pilot will use this platform for additional models in the near future.

Your design is lovely as well! I agree - these are excellent writers, mine is one of 2 Pilots I use every day. I was very pleasantly surprised at the way it writes, I did not expect it.

 

Edit: Alright, I need some help! Stan, may I know who sells the sakura version of this Pilot Lady? I bought my partner the same Seigaiha pattern I have, but she wants this one instead, and I'm hoping to trade the Seigaiha for it or perhaps sell the Seigaiha and get this one. Eesh!!! :rolleyes:

Go here on Rakuten for what may be your best price..

http://item.rakuten.co.jp/hunnyhunt/pilot-lady-white-fp/

 

I have not idea if they will ship to America.

 

You may also try copy/paste this: パイロット レディホワイト モミジ

Means Pilot Lady White Maple.

 

You should find several places in Japan.

Good luck.

Thank you so much, I managed to find one a little cheaper using that search term you provided.

 

Will purchase after I sell off the Seigaiha :) Lesson learned : always check before buying a pen for someone! :lol:

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
