Identification Of Vintage Pilot Custom Fp

[writer without ideas]

Dear members,

 

Kindly identify my Pilot Custom FP brown marbled resin body as pictured (hope the pics are clear enough). The pen has a medium size 14K nib in F point, with a gold colored cap band which mentions 'PILOT CUSTOM-MADE IN JAPAN'. The nib, as I observe, is larger than the Pilot Custom 91 or 92. It has a CON-70 type plunger filler which is integrated with the section as a single transparent unit which also serves as the ink window where it meets the black plastic section.

 

The pen has been with me for quite sometime now but recently when I brought it out for use, I got ink leaking slightly from the plunger end. As it looks like that the black back end metal portion of the filler can be opened to service/lubricate the plunger mechanism, I tried opening it but could not succeed.

 

 

 

 

 

Can someone help in identifying the pen model and whether the plunger end could be opened.

 

Thanks a lot.

I cannot help with the ID, but that is just a con-70 converter. You should be able to pull it off and replace it with a new converter. Might be the easiest way to go rather than attempting to fix the old converter...

Thanks for the response, ehemem, but the filler is not removable. Though it looks like CON 70 but it is not .

Thank you, 25_15_3! This is the exact model that I have. Glad that the filler can be opened and serviced. Many Thanks.

How cool! I thought the con70 was the most modern thing in the world, and yet the built-in filler on your 80's pen uses the exact same system. Wow! Oh, and lovely pen otherwise too

Hello ehemem, don't know the reason but of late i'm also having problems logging in some of the times.

Latest update is that I've been able to open and set right the filler and now its working delightfully.

 

Thank you all!
