Pilot 823's

[blopplop]

Thought I would post a few photos of my Pilot 823 dynamic duo. IMHO, P-823's are some of the best all around utilitarian pens that money can buy. I'm hoping someday to find a demo one at a decent price so I have all three types. For now these two are my writing work horses.

The amber one sports a Minuskin 1.1mm retip. The smokey gray one has a .7mm crisp stub ground by Michael Masuyama.

Another reason I love these pens is Pilots unparalleled customer service here in the USA. My grey one had the plunger filler go bad last year. I sent it to Pilot and they put a new one in no questions asked at no cost to me except shipping to them.

Anyway, here's the pics.
Blessings,

Very nice photos. These are definitely workhorse pens.

My 823 is the only pen in my collection that is literally always inked. In four years, I have never put it away.

That is quite frankly the best review of a pen in my estimation. When you never put it away.

Thanks for the comments. Glad to know there are other 823 fans.

It is my absolute favorite pen. Like the OP, mine is always inked in black because I use it a lot.

Also, like the OP, I would like a demonstrator or smoke version.
