A Pilot Custom Black Stripe B H974 & Myu F H876. Arguably two of Pilot's finest pens from the mid-1970s. The juicy B nib puts down a striking line that belies its stainless steel exterior. The F nib on the Myu is stiff, but has more character than your standard steel nib. Well done Pilot!

I have the impression that it is Wrong to stick the cap on the other end of a FP while writing, as in this photo. The cap doesn't seem to fit snugly on the other end. It could quite easily scratch up the finish on a pen's barrel. But most importantly, it doesn't look Old-Timey to me. Any thoughts?

Interesting, same query about the same pen
OP also has a similar reddit user icon to the aforementioned post.
Ahhh..... a Fermo in the wild!
Bought vintage pilot pocket pen from
Confirmed
Decanting?
Yes. Decanting.
New word for me
Use it in good health!
Go on...
Hi, this is the
The links are the same.
Link fixed.
How about Yama-budo? I use that in my Elite but with an inlaid nib.

I'll have to do some searching to figure out how this works, but thanks for the input! I never would've thought of it on my own.
This is something about purchasing fountain pens from Japan. Maybe it is helpful?
So, if you wipe that, ink will reappear WITHOUT posting?

If you've lost that many pens, are you sure you want to get back into using them?
It's not great practice to lose pens obviously. But I miss the feeling of writing with them. Spending ~$5-30 on a pen and writing with it daily for 1-3 years is worth it to me.
Understood. As I stated, take a look at those links. People swear by the Chinese pens and for the price (and quality), you can't go wrong. Good luck at university!
Just looking around her site - are you meant to physically do the walk in these locations along with the video? And are the videos available online or are they only avaiable when exhibited with a gallery?
You’re supposed to do the walk. I’ve done of theirs in London (Whitechapel) and in NYC (Central Park).
Well...
I post.
Do a search on this sub for Noodlers. You'll see all of the controversial opinions, locked posts and all. Have at it!

You have so many great Pilot pens in your posts. Is the bottom one a new acquisition? I can’t remember if I’ve seen it in earlier posts. At any rate they all look wonderful.
Thank you! I’ve never posted this Pilot before and it’s the only pocket pen (by Pilot) I own with a Sterling Silver cap. It just got moved into the rotation.
It might be a good way to move the e95s pen slightly upmarket with e.g. sterling silver cap. The legacy is there and I do not see a reason e95s could not get more love (and more versions/special editions) like VP does.
Great suggestions!
I was just saying that I wish this came with a lipstick red barrel
Sound like a LE about to happen! Or a user mod (3D printing?)!
Hopefully I’d someone doesn’t like it, they won’t spend the time commenting.
Your handwriting is gorgeous!
Is there a reason it has to be Japanese? A Kaweco Sport Steel is the closest thing I can think of. It weighs 41g.
OP probably doesn’t want any guesswork on a Kaweco nib.
Really? If you’re worried about scratching it, hold it tightly and shake vigorously, with the nib pointed away from you. After you’ve flung it, and bent the nib, let it air dry overnight.
Looks legit. How does it fit?
