Nice pen.

 

Not quite a classic Deluxe although it uses the same classic nib. However, Pilot calls it a Deluxe.

Pilot has made a number of models recently in this mold.

Thier Spirits of Edo series of at least three models come to mind.

Note the stylized sword clip.

 

I have one of the Spirits of Edo models and it's a super pen. i use it regularly.

Am tempted to buy this pen. Looks like a beauty.

That's actually kind of a nice pattern, would have prefered it with a darker base though.

The pen and nib does look equivalent to my Pilot Deluxe Seigaiha pattern - one of my favourite pens. I'd love if this pattern came in a dark blue!

FWIW, the model comes in Sakura, cherry blossoms, as well. I like the maple leaves better.

Wow, those are beautiful. If they came in a darker base, like a maroon, I'd definitely get one. Would you mind explaining to me how they are different from the Deluxe model? This is the one I have :

 

 

It looks like the same nib and body to me, but I'd love to hear your insights

They are the same. Just different color lacquer different color section (white) and gold trim.

 

Your pen comes in a series of three called Edo Spirits. I have one different from yours.

I love it. Great writer.

 

I anticipate Pilot will use this platform for additional models in the near future.

Your design is lovely as well! I agree - these are excellent writers, mine is one of 2 Pilots I use every day. I was very pleasantly surprised at the way it writes, I did not expect it.

 

Edit: Alright, I need some help! Stan, may I know who sells the sakura version of this Pilot Lady? I bought my partner the same Seigaiha pattern I have, but she wants this one instead, and I'm hoping to trade the Seigaiha for it or perhaps sell the Seigaiha and get this one. Eesh!!!

Go here on Rakuten for what may be your best price..

http://item.rakuten.co.jp/hunnyhunt/pilot-lady-white-fp/

 

I have not idea if they will ship to America.

 

You may also try copy/paste this: パイロット レディホワイト　モミジ

Means Pilot Lady White Maple.

 

You should find several places in Japan.

Good luck.

Thank you so much, I managed to find one a little cheaper using that search term you provided.

 

Will purchase after I sell off the Seigaiha Lesson learned : always check before buying a pen for someone!
