Yet another "Please ID my Pilot" thread...

[Hamigua2000]

Thanks to the community for giving this a looksie. I have high hopes that the hive mind will come through for me on this one.

• See photos.
• No markings on body, clip, or cap ring.
• Snap cap.
• Cartridge/converter.
• Nib code 291 (which doesn't fit the format of anything on Richard Binder's excellent article on Japanese date codes.)

My gut reaction was that it *might* be a Pilot Saturn, but doesn't look like mine except for having a similarly shaped clip.  
I don't know a lot about the model except that mine was apparently made in Korea for the Korean market.  You might try contacting Pilot directly (depending on what country you're in.  The little I know about the Saturn I have is from contacting Pilot USA.  

Sorry I can't be of more help.

I thought it could be a Pilot Deluxe from the 1970s but it is not. Perhaps a 1980 model.

 

I recommend to ask Pilot directly. They answer (not like Sailor).

MYSTERY SOLVED!

Rather than navigate deepl and Pilot Japan's page, I had a go at asking Pilot USA, I think they forwarded it to an appropriate party, and here's their response:

Thank you for contacting Pilot Pen. The pen you are trying to identify is called the Pilot Celemo fountain pen from the 1990s that sold for around $50.00.

 

I'm going to tag this thread with "celemo" in hopes that it might help someone in the future.

 

So thanks for the tip, and props to Pilot!

Thanks for the information.  I don't know a lot about older Pilot models -- other than the one I mentioned before (the Korean made one), most of mine pretty modern models.

I think that 291 fits the Pilot date format. From a certain year onwards they stopped including the initial letter, so it's February 1991

 

And yes, it's a Pilot Celemo. It's very easily identifiable from the cap clip, which has this "sticker looking" black stripe (actually it's probably enamel or something more refined, since they don't peel but are often times not perfectly centered). I have the mechanical pencil version of the celemo.
