Description The gorgeous Pilot Custom 743 Black fountain pen has a black resin body with a gold-plated clip and trim. The 14kt gold nib is a #15 size, and features an Extra Fine point. The Pilot Custom 743 has the same body size and shape as the familiar Pilot Custom 823 but the 743 uses a CON-70 converter or cartridge filling system, both of which are included. The pen comes with a full bottle of ink in a unique design, in a larger satin-lined presentation box. Please note that Japanese nib sizes tend to run on the finer side, so your line with will be thinner than with a western nib. Additional Pilot ink cartridges and other Pilot converters are also available. We offer Free Shipping on all orders over $59 for US customers, and for orders over $250 for our Canadian customers.
