    Default WTT: Pilot Custom 742 SU (Sutab / Stub)

    I had to try the Pilot factory stub (or Sutab) nib just to see what it's like. It's a nice nib with good line variation, but it isn't for me and the line is just too broad.

    I could send the nib away to be ground finer...or I could swap it for another nib. I will swap for another Pilot #10 nib in gold (EF, F, SF, PO, WA, etc.) or a different pen altogether of similar value (far side of $100).

    I have a small OMAS Arte Italiana 555/S from 1991, medium nib. It's a very small pen in OMAS Ogiva shape, black with gold accents. It's in great condition. I bought it second hand some 10-odd years ago in like-new condition and really have not used it much (My interest has narrowed further and further towards stubs/italics. No box or papers.

    I live in France and would be interested in a trade straight up.

    PM me if interested.

    Hi there...

    Any ideas on how much would it take to make you part ways with the pen?

    Thanks

    My pen is black. I would be very pleased to consider swapping (the entire pen - not just the section) for the burgundy version.

    Would you be interested in a Pilot Custom 743 with a fine nib for your pen + cash?
