Overview
The Pilot Custom Urushi in black has a large ebonite barrel and cap with a glossy roiro urushi finish and gold trim. The lacquered surface continues Pilot’s tradition of applying urushi to machined ebonite, keeping the decoration focused on the depth and luster of the black lacquer.
Introduced in 2016, the Custom Urushi was developed around a large No. 30 two-tone 18k gold nib, whose size and responsive feel are defining features of the model. The fountain pen has a screw-on cap and accepts Pilot ink cartridges or a compatible converter for bottled ink.
Made in Japan, it measures 154.6 mm capped, 140.2 mm uncapped, and 183.2 mm with the cap posted. The barrel is 15.9 mm wide, and the pen weighs 43 g capped and 25 g uncapped.

Ich möchte eine kurze Rückmeldung zu meinem Kauf geben, da ich sehr lange überlegt habe, und evtl. hiermit anderen Kunden die Sache etwas leichter machen möchte. Zunächst habe ich aus Deutschland bestellt und mir um folgende Dinge Gedanken gemacht: Versand, Steuer, Zoll, Lieferzeit, Echtheit etc.
Ich kann sagen, nichts davon hat im Endeffekt überhaupt eine Rolle gespielt. Ich habe den Kauf über die Website getätigt. Nachdem auf der Seite „Lieferzeit auf Anfrage“ stand: Siehe da, schon nach wenigen Stunden kam eine Versandbestätigung und nach wenigen Tagen hielt ich das Paket übergeben von Fedex aus Spanien in der Hand. Kein Unterschied zu einer Bestellung innerhalb Deutschlands.
Ich denke zum Füllfederhalter selbst brauche ich nicht viel zu schreiben; ein TOP Produkt. Kam natürlich neu mit allem, was dazugehört. Auf der Seite steht „Referenz NPUN“. Tatsächlich handelt es sich um das Modell „FKV-88SR-B“. Das hatte mich ebenfalls verunsichert, ich denke, wenn Iguana Sell dies ausbessern würde, würden sie noch mehr von diesem Füller verkaufen.

When is a pen not a pen? When it's an instrument for composing a musical masterpiece or a drawing of sublime beauty, or a thank you note to a loved-one. This "pen" never gets in the way, it allows ideas to flow like ink in water.
