Delivery Of A New Pilot Falcon


MarcG

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

 

When I bought a new brown metal Falcon at the brick and mortar store of a well known company, it was sold to me in a generic Pilot box:: hard box, "leathery" covering, cardboard and felt inside. I don't think that it was intentional but doesn't this pen come with a more specific, higher quality box? I am seeing mention of that on the web. Do you think that I should push the point (no pun intended) and insist on the correct box?

 

While I have your attention, should the Pilot Con-20 converter fit this pen? I purchased this item by mail last week (different company) and it seems to rest in the head but I cannot get a good seal. Is it me, the newbie who is confused? LOL. and Thanks!!!!

:rolleyes: Looking for the perfect nib, perfect paper and perfect ink.

A similar box came with my Burgundy Namiki Falcom (resin) about 10 years ago.

 

The C-20 should work with just aout all the Pilot pens. It's the "70" that is too long for some pens. (As I understand it).

“Don't put off till tomorrow what you can do today, because if you do it today and like it, you can do again tomorrow!”

I don't remember what kind of packaging my metal Falcon came in, so I suspect it was nothing unusual.

 

Yes, the Con 20 fits into the metal Falcon, as does the Con 50 and the Con 70. All the Pilot converters are a tight fit. You really have to push pretty hard to get it to sit correctly, but once it's in, it is in very securely. I like the Con 70 the best.

 

Hope this helps...

My resin Falcon came in a beautiful Namiki clam-shell type case, much like the Pilot VP's come in, and it even came with a very nice 'owners manual' printed with an onion-skin type paper for the cover.

      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
