Silver Pilot Mr In Europe


TotalPerspectiveVortex

Recommended Posts

Hello!

 

I'm new to this forum and glad i found it. I was given a beautiful black Pilot Metropolitan a while back, but during a class it feel straight on the tip, bending it completely, and i have deduced from the internet that the most economical choice is just to buy a new Metropolitan. I'm not particulary fond of animal skin or retro pop designs, but those seem to be most readily available. My question is, where could i find a silver Pilot MR/Metropolitan (the one without animal skin or dots) in Europe? Does it even sell in Europe?

 

Thank you for your responses, happy holidays!

Hi,

Welcom to FPN!!

 

I haven’t seen any single-tone-no-pattern offered by European sellers... but would be curious to see other members’ feedback.

 

Did you consider buying any new MR and using only the section with the nib with the existing cap and barrel? All sections are black anyway and interchangeable.

Of course, if the cap and barrel of your existing one have not been twisted by the accident.

A few days ago I visited my stationery store and saw they had the Metro in white, silver and gun metal finishes.

If you must have a Silver one, you might have to order online from outside Europe. Of course, you then have extra postage and maybe tax to pay. I have used Goulet Pens (USA) in the past, and have only good things to say about their speedy, international service. Postage was roughly the same price as the Pilot Metro pen, but I didn't incur any extra costs.

 

I much prefer the plain pens to the patterned ones, and have had to get them from the USA and Japan.

 

If cost is an issue, then go with the suggestion to purchase something locally, and swap over the section to your black one.

 

Happy Holidays, and Good luck. :thumbup:

      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
