I hope you enjoy these blingy shots of what I consider the most beautiful nib on the planet...

Even the switch-filler cover is gold-plated...

 

 

I am generally allergic to gold but I forgive Pilot on this one.

 

Happy New Year!

Wow!

 

Very nice, no, stunning looking pen! And great photographs, too!

 

I really like how the cap and clip follow the same pattern and flow as the nib. Beautiful, and very well captured!

 

Warm regards, Wim

Wow...these are some nice photos.

 

The Pilot Super Ultra 500, is one of my favorite pens. Pilot made a whole spectrum of the Super line. The 500 was at the top of the line. There was a 500 with a all gold cap, and I've seen a few 500's in other colors like burgundy and dove gray, but these are very rare. In the 1970's, Pilot made a replica of the 500. It looks nearly identical to the original, except for the filling system. Here below are some of the other Pilot Supers:

Going from right to left:

 

Pen #1 Pilot Super 50L This has the dart nib and the switch filler

 

Pen #2 Pilot Super 100 Fingernail Nib and switch filler

 

Pen #3 Pilot Super 150 Fingernail nib and switch filler, just slightly larger than the 100

 

Pen #4 Pilot Super 200 (note that this is one of the first year pens with the 3 section rings, it also has the older Pilot R-pen imprint.

 

Pen #5 Pilot Super 300 (same as the 200 except it has a gold filled cap)

 

Pen #6 Pilot Super 200G Twist button filler

 

Pen #7 Pilot Super 500G Twist button Filler

 

Pen #8 & #9 Pilot Super Ultra 200 Twist button filler

 

Pen #10, #11 & #12 Pilot Super Ultra 500 Switch fillers

 

 

Stay well

Thank you for the great photos! Can you tell us when these models were made?

      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
