Pilot Custom 912 Fountain Pen in Black & Rhodium – 14K Gold

From a culture that revered the art of writing for more than a thousand years comes an instrument that celebrates both writing and art. In crafting the Custom Heritage 912, Pilot bridges art and technology, poetry and science, yesterday and tomorrow with the traditional style of this modern fountain pen design. Although the 912 might appear like a conservative, black resin fountain pen, where it shines is in its unprecedented nib selection. The Pilot Custom Heritage 912 collection was brought to the United States to satisfy the demand for a wide range of expressive writing nibs.
