Wow! I am a day into this forum - from a posting perspective - and I am just going ga ga ....

I love my pens. I hope more would love their pens (and pencils). An increasingly digital world worries me.

No need to look it up. That would be July, 1978. (7th month of 78). I believe the H had something to do with where it was made. They even put this on the new Pilot M90. Mine reads 1108.

When was this pen made?

IIRC, in the 1970s. No idea as to the specifics. The nib code (anyone know where to look those up) reads H778.

Hi,

 

The H stands for the Hiratsuka plant, where the pen was made.

Cheers,

Haven't had this one out in a while, but I broke it out tonight, inked it up with Pilot Iroshizuku Kon Peki, and will be carrying it with me in church tomorrow . . . when I baptize my son!!! He's 6 1/2, but there's no doubt he understands.

 

 

HAPPY AND PROUD DAD HERE!!!!!!!!!!!

Southpaw,

 

Congrats on your son's baptism. That is indeed a wonderful pen for an even more wonderful occasion.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
