I seem to have an affinity for Namiki/Pilot pens. I received a Pilot 912 with 1.0 stub nib today. This is a beautiful pen with a wonderful nib. It is the nicest of my Namiki/Pilots due to its size and wonderful writing qualities. Another great writer is the Stargazer. I have this pen with a medium nib and it too is very nice. However, it is kinda tiny. My Prera writes nicely, but is a little scratchy. My first two Pilots were Falcons, one Namiki with fine nib and one Pilot with a medium nib. I have not yet mastered these flex nib pens. It seems they just go where they want to go and I cannot seem to write nicely with them.

I will post some pictures of these beauties soon.

I've been a big Pilot fan since I lived in Japan in the mid 80s. They are great pens...enjoy!

It was the Stargazer that motivated me to buy the 912. My Stargaze has a medium nib and it is a wonderful writer.

I wonder if the 92 is the same pen as the 912, except for the fact the 92 is a demonstrator.

What nibs did you order?

Congratulations on your pens. I bet you'll love them.
