https://www.ebay.com/str/ainowProduct Description
Offered here is a Pilot Custom Kaede (Maple) fountain pen, model H275, manufactured at the Hiratsuka factory in February 1975. This is a rare vintage Pilot Custom fitted with an 18K gold Fine nib, representing a piece of genuine Japanese pen-making history. The pen accepts both cartridge and converter, offering flexibility in ink loading. Body measurements are approximately 133mm capped, 152mm posted, and 12mm in barrel diameter — a comfortable, classic profile. According to the seller, ink has never been passed through this pen, and it presents in beautiful condition. The seller has listed the condition as "near unused" rather than "new" because only the pen itself is included — no box, case, or accompanying papers are present. Condition: Pre-owned (near unused). No ink has been run through the pen. Minor signs consistent with age and storage may be present. Please refer to the photographs carefully, as they form part of the item description. Included: Pen only. No box, no converter, no cartridges, no papers.
Import duties, taxes, and fees are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying.
