Originally introduced in the 1960s, the Pilot Elite quickly gained popularity for its exceptional craftsmanship and performance.Originally the Pilot Elite was a whole family of pens in a number of different styles. So many of them, actually, that it is hard to ignore the impression of Elite being a catchy word that was attached to any pen with a serious and formal look in the sixties and seventies. Or even not that formal. Pocket pens are a genuine Japanese invention. These are pens with very long sections and caps and very short barrels. The cap, however, fits tightly on the barrel when posted making a full-size pen to write. Indeed, these pens need to be posted to use comfortably. The pilot was the company that launched this idea in 1968, and the rest of the Japanese companies followed suit soon afterward. (Vid post scriptum. This is not correct—the first pocket pen was released by Platinum in 1964). Sailor released their version of the pocket pen in 1967 and it is confirmed. This model is one of the 1st models of pocket pens that Pilot ever released along with Myu and others.The defining feature of the Pilot Elite is the Pilot legendary pocket pen's big cap, which works in a similar way to transform a small-sized capped pen into a reasonably sized posted pen. The cap really is very long and so posts and closes securely. As you can see, it’s almost as long as the pen. *PILOT ELITE NIBS*The modern Pilot Elite utilizes a similar nib construction to the Vintage Pilot Elite from the 80s. This is because the Nail Nib style offers breakthrough properties that can still benefit today's writers. One of the advantages of having a nail nib or an integrated nib is the enhanced strength and integrity of the nib. It can withstand the demands of hard-pressed writers and endure rigorous use.The vintage model of the Pilot Elite provides a flex nib capability, and interestingly, the modern version still retains this feature. Despite the market leaning towards fine or medium nib strokes, the modern Pilot Elite incorporates a flex nib. Specifically, it utilizes a Pilot Medium Nib, which results in a pleasant line stroke with added flex and line variation. POSTED? Pilot Elite! Shines brightest when its posted. Once its posted the pens writing feels became on par with standard long-body fountain pens, thanks to the even distribution of weight from the cap and the lower body *Condition* Bought 2nd hand but brand new and unused comes with the box and papers NEW Pilot Namiki Elite E95s Black FES-1MMB 14K Pocket Fountain PenORIGINAL & AUTHENTIC BID WITH CONFIDENCEAVAILABLE NIB OPTIONS: EF, F, M (CONTACT US BEFORE PURCHASE REGARDING YOUR NIB OF CHOICE) *Specifications*Brand: PilotMaterial: Stainless Steel Metal, Resin 18K-750 Gold NibFilling mechanism: Converter or Cartridge (Pilot Proprietary Converter & Cartridge)Nib: 14K Gold M Nib (AVAILABLE NIB: EF, F, M) Feed: Resin Size: 115 mm (Closed)/Barrel width: 11 mmWeight: 11.7 g Closing System: Snap-o*PILOT ELITE POCKET PEN*The Pilot Elite fountain pen, now commonly referred to as the Pilot 95s, has a rich history that dates back several decades.
