Hi, Folks!

This is a rare Pilot sterling silver fountain pen made to commemorate the 60th Anniversary Coronation of Emperor Showa, or Hirohito, who reigned on the Chrysanthemum throne of Japan from December 25, 1926 until his death on January 7, 1989. This pen was made in 1986 in 2 versions, this one in sterling silver and the other in a sterling silver base with gold and black lacquer decoration. The pen cap, clip, and barrel end are treated with a special engraving process gives it a molten look. The barrel is decorated with an engraved chrysanthemum and what appears to be Japanese Paradise Flycatcher birds. On the cap top is a high relief cast silver chrysanthemum with the Kanji “寿” meaning “Longevity” to commemorate the Emperor's long life. The 5 1/4 inch long pen comes in a Paulownia wood box with a chrysanthemum embossed on the top. The nib is a 14 karat gold medium.

      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

      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
