Pilot Juliet With Medium Steel Nib

[melissa59]

I purchased this NOS Pilot Juliet a couple weeks ago. It has a medium STEEL NIB, not the fine gold nib mentioned in this post: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/350810-25-nos-pilot-juliet-14ks-for-sale-quite-a-few-available/?do=findComment&comment=4273547

 

As you'll read in the thread linked above, I had trouble getting this pen to write consistently.

 

I was able to take it apart, scrub the nib and put it back together. It's better but I still have some skipping issues.

 

This is a very narrow pen. Pencil thin. I find it uncomfortable. I also am not a fan of the medium nib.

 

Perhaps someone else will have better luck with it than I.

 

This giveaway is open worldwide. I will accept entries through January 9, 2020 and will choose the winner on or about January 10.

 

FYI, I will give a number to each entry then have my son roll one of his many-sided dice to choose the winner. In the off chance that there are more entries than sides on his dice (I think the largest is 20), I will use an online randomizer.

Might be something my niece might like. I'll give it a shot.

[JoeCorey]

I'd like to try making it perform better.

[Caronann]

I'de like to give it a shot, please.

And thank you for the PIF.

That's a very nice pen. Don't put me down for it though, I have large paws.

I have narrow pens and big hands. I'm used to them. Put me on the list please :-)

This looks very beautiful. Although i am scared to tinker with the nibs, am fortunate to live in a city where i can take the pen to a professional nibmeister easily.

 

May i request you to count me in too.

I am very much interested, thank you.

I also am interested. Been looking at them over the years and would not mind seeing if I could make it perform. And thank you for the idea of seeing if someone could make a proper home for it.

An attractive pen and a lovely PIF, but not for me. I don't care for them skinny, and I can't think of anyone I'd be willing to give a pen with skipping issues.

Count me in!

Hi,

 

Please add me to the list. I've been "eyeing" the Juliet for a while now.

 

Thanks!

No entries since Jan 3, so I'm going to end this giveaway 4 hours early. (It is 8 p.m. where I'm located).

 

We had 12 entries. I gave each one a number. Using a 12-sided dice, the winner is #10 -- alexwi!

 

Alex, I'll send you a PM. Please reply back with your mailing info. I'll get the pen in the mail after the weekend.

Thank you Melissa!!!
