What Pen Is This?

[GeorgeD]

A few weeks ago I went shopping around for a new fountain pen to use at my law office. I was looking for something average-priced, good-looking and with a fine, flexible nib.

So I went to a bookstore in downtown Athens, and finally bought the only Pilot fountain pen available that had a fine nib. Between the rather clunky Metropolitan, which only came with a medium nib, and this one, I chose the latter.

While the pen looks and feels great, I'm curious because the model, Pilot Classic FNBP-300R, doesn't match with any Pilot pens marketed on websites abroad. I was thinking that it might be a knock-off, but it does came with a genuine Pilot con-20 ink converter, and is listed and marketed on the website of PIlot's official representative in Greece.

So can anyone guess what it is?

As far as I recall that model is simply called Pilot Classic. I think it is out of production; at least it is very hard to find in Europe. Maybe still for sale in Japan - at least I think I saw it listed some time ago from a Japanese Ebay seller.
