Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Circa 2009 Pilot Custom 823 Fountain Pen in transparent Amber resin fitted with a 14K Medium Nib. This fountain pen has been gently used and comes with all the Pilot literature and original inner and outer boxes. I consider this fountain pen to be in Near Mint Condition.

There are absolutely no nicks, chips, cracks, or repairs to this fountain pen. The cap of this fountain pen displays the gold-plated clip and cap banding. The cap banding is stamped with, "CUSTOM 823 PILOT MADE IN JAPAN". The clip is stamped with, "PILOT". The cap and barrel are excellent with the cap always securing tightly to the barrel. There are no monograms or personalizations to either the cap or barrel. This Pilot Custom 823 fountain pen was manufactured in Japan around January 2009 based on the nib date code (A109). This Pilot Custom 823 measures 5 7/8" inches in length capped, 6 1/2" inches posted, and weighs 1.01 ounces.

The NIB is a 14k - #15 size type with a medium point. The actual fountain pen tipping/iridium measures .73mm when measured using digital calipers. The nib will write within a range from medium to broad (.61mm to 1.09mm) and smoothly I might add. The pen was dipped in Parker Blue Ink when performing the writing sample. The actual pen in the images was used when creating the writing sample.

The 823 uses a Vacuum Filling system. The filling system worked as designed when I tested it with water. 

The pen comes with the original boxes and literature. To be clear, the box originally contained a bottle of ink. This listing does not come with ink. 

The Custom 823 Fountain Pen in transparent Amber from Pilot is a classy and sleek writing instrument - you can use it as an everyday writer or bring it to black-tie events, it will never be out of style. It is lightweight, has a smooth writing nib, and the barrel holds a ton of ink. For those reasons, and then some, this is a fabulous workhorse fountain pen. I would consider this fountain pen in Near Mint to Mint condition.
