Congratulation!

I have been admiring Japanese fountain pen for quite a period. But never invest in a fine one. Only have a Pilot M78 entry-level.I should get one if I get another chance to fine one.

Thank you all for your kind words! That is indeed the con-70 converter, sorry for the confusion.

This is indeed a special pen, has really become my favourite. I am every day liking pilot pens more. Best wishes for everyone!

for me, the barrel and cap do absolutely nothing for me. almost looks cheap and plastic. The nib is different. The nib and feed look very nice and the only thing that intrigues me about this pen.

The holy grail of japanese pens in my book.

 

Looks great, love how the brass shines when you open it.

What a handsome pen. Retired now, have a grail pen already, or I would be lèche les vitrines, spendy as it is.

Hello Folks! Glad you like it!

greensparcs, believe me, I thought the same until I held it in my hands. It´s an undescribable feeling. If you ever have the chance, pick one up. You´ll know what I am talking about.

Hello again! Thanks for the mind words and corrections, all of them very welcome!! Yesterday I discovered a very interesting ( and impressive ) fact: the Namiki Urushi nib works almost exactly as a sailor naginata togi!!! The only difference is the line variation, wich is not as pronounced as in the naginata togi. The following writing sample demonstrates it. the first three lines were written with my NT, the top one with the nib in reverse side, the with a 90 degrees angle, then on my normal writing position. The following 3 lines were written with my urushi royal with the same sequence. Paper is the lousy paper they have available for the prescriltions at the hospital ( I am currently on duty...). Ink is Iroshizuku kon-peki for the Sailor, namiki blue for the urushi.

How about that?? Love this pen even more by the day!!

WOW such a beautiful pen. Some day! One can always dream. That is my dream pen. And super nice fact about the nib, did not know it had the Naginata Togi qualities.

Thanks for the pictures and sharing!
