Need help identifying some pens

**6of1** · May 23rd, 2013, 09:24 AM

Trying to organise my collection and ran across three pens that I've failed to annotate and need some help identifying. Thought it might be helpful to present them to the ol' hivemind and see if anyone recognises them.

From top to bottom: Platinum, Pilot, Pilot. The red Pilot is an eyedropper filler. The Platinum is a set with a matching BP.

Intriguingly enough, the nib is marked "Made in Korea super quality"

The Platinum looks like this one here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Platinum-Ful...item2c6f23600c

I am not sure about the name though, they just reference it as "Full Demonstrator". It's not a President since it does not have the metal section.

Thank you, KrazyIvan, that appears to be an exact match. It isn't a premium pen by any stretch, but a nice little number maybe at the same quality as a Pilot 78G.

I found a thread on FPN that has information on a Pilot with a made in Korea nib. Unfortunately, it looks like the host is no longer available for the pictures. Stan references it as a Pilot Custom.

I went directly to Stan's page and found his listing for the Pilot Custom. The section/nib looks similar but that's about it. Your red Pilot looks like it may fall into that same category of pen.

The red Pilot is sold in Singapore as a Tank. About $6. Nib interchangeable with with the 78G, Prera and Plumix

Ah, thank you, siewhongwong. I now recall that I did purchase the Tank from Singapore. It's quite a nice little pen for the price and is specially designed as an eyedropper filler -- no leaks and no extraneous treatment required.

KrazyIvan, I've investigated the Custom line and came to the same conclusions -- mine doesn't seem to resemble any of the models I've seen. I was quite curious about a notable Japanese brand having a Korean nib and/or manufacture, owing to the cultural differences. I hadn't looked at it in years and just re-discovered it a few days ago.
