					<description><![CDATA[TL;DR: Purchasing pens made for a different market can mean some changes are needed to make them fit. In the Japanese market, I often find F nibs thinned to EF and tuned to write glass-smoothly. But, sometimes, I find nibs further turned downward, closer to the Sailor Concord specialty nibs than to the narrow down-turn of the Pilot Falcon or Posting nibs. This rare example of a Montblanc 121 Burgundy with 18k nib, ground from F to EF, turned into a Concord shape, has had artisanal work in these two directions. What is a Concord nib?

					<description><![CDATA[TL;DR: I fished from my pen drawer a pocket pen. Turns out it&#8217;s a PILOT Elite model E95S, in Burgundy red, with an enormous 14k-gold nib, EF-tipped, stamped with &#8220;P921&#8221;. I bought it last year and never got to try it out properly. Today&#8217;s the day! History: The PILOT Elite line started in the 1960s as a prestige line, different from the SUPERs that dominated the Japanese fountain pen market in the 1950s. Long Elites were the new prestige class, but somewhere along the line, starting with the SAILOR Mini (early 1960s) and followed closely by PLATINUM, a new class <span class="read-more" ><a href="https://fountainpens4drawing.nl/tryout/pilot-elite-e95s-ef-2010s-or-in-which-a-cat-chases-a-bee/" class="btn btn-primary">Read More</a></span>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[TL;DR: Drawing this maple leaf was a pleasure. The main drawing instrument for this is a PILOT SUPER 200 with a 14k-gold POSTING nib. The prop fell from a tree just a couple of days before the drawing took place. Info: SUPERs were a popular, high-quality line from pen-maker PILOT, through the 1950s and early 1960s. Model SUPER 200 was the large (but not extra large) size, acting as a Montblanc 146 of its time in Japan. Featuring the PILOT fingernail nib, they were excellent writers. This pen has a 14k-gold POSTING nib. POSTING nibs of that time act typically <span class="read-more" ><a href="https://fountainpens4drawing.nl/tryout/drawing-of-a-maple-leaf-with-a-pilot-super-200-with-14k-posting-nib/" class="btn btn-primary">Read More</a></span>]]></description>
