It is a Pilot Super. Model number is on barrel.

They are great pens, considered eminently collectible.

Come in assortment of colors, caps, and nib types.

Ninety percent are seen in standard black.

The music nibs are exceptional.

Try to find a Gold Fill cap for the pen - looks great.

Looks like an early production: large central imprint + 3 ribs collar, ...

These early models did not have the model name imprint, as far as I know.

Later models have it on the barrel, near the section.

Beautiful. Thanks for the photo, stan. Are the ones to the far right having a maki-e and/or urushi treatment?

Yes. From left to right.

 

Seirei-nuri finish.

Pilot Lady. The design is on the metal body. Two different finishes prior to application to light coat of lacquer. why is it called Lady? Man-size pen. Might be how they envisioned marketing of pen.

Lacquer. Multiple layers rubbed to expose lighter color of first coating.

Starry Night. Limited edition silver pen with lacquer over acid-etched (???) design.

      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
