An accomplished traveller

“If only we as humans could have as many virtues as the fountain pen…”

Mark Twain

Having long harboured a yearning to visit Japan., I am very envious of this pen. It’s been to Japan twice. This Pilot Custom 823 was actually born in Japan. Hiratuka in the Kanagwa Prefecture to be precise. It has also just returned from another visit to Japan, a cracked barrel needed replacing. Not only is this a well travelled pen, it is also an excellent travel pen. It has a beautiful classic form and a wonderful big 18k nib, which will deeply impress all of those you encounter. The vacuumatic filling system can hold over 3ml of ink for your journey. The piston knob on the base can regulate ink flow to accommodate any writing material you may encounter. or can be closed fully to seal the ink chamber for safe pressurised air travel. Want to travel light, yet with style? This is your pen. #superbwriter #letsmakelemonade
