Reviews of some vintage fountain pens (will update)

[Andrew_Lensky]

Hi! I already have 3 reviews of wonderful and exceptional Pilot Myu models on my site, and today I want to show you the higher (by size) model of this family.

Pilot Murex MR-500SS (made in Japan) 1985.

The shape of this fountain pen no resembles as rocket like Myu and even more reminds me of another legendary pen from the 70s – Aurora Hastil – in almost flat cylindrical body only slightly widening in the center, which when folded looks more like a cigarette. With the cap removed, I can already see a futuristic, for the 70s, magnetic levitation truck . The material of all body is brushed stainless steel. The filling system is cartridge-converter, by proprietary Pilot format, but it is possible to install converters only Con-20 or Con-40. The cap on friction, but closes with a click at the end, which reminds me of the signature DuPont click.
