I am not so sure which model this is. I found it without any box or packaging at local pen store in Pune.

 

The pen costs around $13post-80966-0-66922600-1346741341.jpg

This is called the Pilot "Superior" IIRC. BTW which shop did you buy this from in Pune? It used to cost 230/-Rs once upon a time, I have several.

Darn!! I paid 13$ for a 4$ pen!!

I bought it from Shweta enterprises at ABChowk. Near Venus Traders.

When I had reached Venus traders they didnt have much of a fountain pen collection. Not even simple Airmail pens.

 

Long ago I had seen this post https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php?/topic/59429-pilot-ultra-super-500/

 

I thought may be these pens are so valuable.

 

:P LOL

Thanks, I know that shop. Sorry to hear about Venus. During my time, they were the best stocked shop in terms of inks and fountain pens. Also check out President Stationers at Raviwar peth. It has been a long time since I have moved out of Pune.

 

BTW the supers had gold nibs, this one is a steel nib.

 

Best

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
