Pilot Metropolitan with CM nib.jpeg

Another Correction:

Having just seen this webpage, I have learned that this pen was in fact sold as a Pilot ‘MR3 Retro Pop’ fountain pen, in the ‘Violet Ellipse’ finish.

Or should that be a Pilot ‘MR3’ fountain pen, in the ‘Violet Ellipse’ finish from the ‘Retro Pop’ range… 🤔🤷‍♂️

 

I reckon I’ll start calling this pen an ‘MR3’.
But I’d never refer to any Pilot pen as an ‘MR2’, because that was the name of a mid-engined RWD 2-seater sports car that was made by Toyota.
Whose name was unintentionally-hilarious in the French market, so the company had to elide the ‘2’ from its name there.

It was this one, bought from Jetpens. Therefore I call it a Metropolitan cos that's what it says there and on my invoice!

I will add here, for completeness, I did deliberately order my trio of Metropolitans from the US to be certain I would be getting the model with the ordinary Pilot cartridge / converter. All Pilot pens in this home take Pilot thingys cos I do not need to add any more confusion to that which I already suffer...
