Can Anyone Tell Me What Pilot Elite Model This Is?

November 18, 2017

I really like the size of this pen, however the medium nib is a bit thick for me so I would like to get another in a finer nib size. I'm having a very hard time finding another elite model this size, whenever I search "pilot elite" in ebay all that pops up are the pocket(?) pen versions. The original listing that I bought it from just called it a "Pilot Elite 14K-585" so looking there isn't much help . Any ideas would be super helpful !

Hello!

I have not found the exact model number yet. It's much less common than the short model.

In Japanese it's called "エリートロング", which means "Long Elite".

You may try to search for those terms, either in Japanese or in English, and take a look.

Thanks so much! It does seem a much rarer find, even searching japans yahoo auctions Im only getting the pocket version. I might just need to get the nib ground down. Im also noticing that a Pilot E is a similar shape to this pen, so maybe I should get one of those to compare sizing...

I have more than 70 different Elite pens in size, color, etc. 7 of them are the long type as "formlhaut" wrote. I also have 4 silver color, long Elite for ladies.

The one I have like yours, is mint, and the label on the other side writes 5000. I guess this is the price in Yen.

Surely they are more rare than short, but not as the 22 short elite. 22 refers to nib carats.
