Namiki vs Pilot

[Sergio 46]

Not sure that Namiki is for export only, as far as, on Amazon.jp, you find for instance a lot of Namiki Falcon! Besides, one of my best FPs, bought through J-subculture, has been a Namiki Falcon metal in SEF.

because there are retailers who know that they have overseas buyers so they also use Pilot USA's naming sense (this is why you can see Elabo is also marked as falcon)

else you will only see Pilot Elabo being sold in metal or resin from there retailers (to test go to Ito-ya Japan and ask them for Namiki Vanishing Point)

else true Namiki would be those Ebonite Urushi pens like Emperor and Yukari Royale
