Pilot Custom 743 Fountain Pen - Verdigris

1st Fountain Pen

This is my first fountain pen and I must say it is a terrific writing instrument

A marvelous tool

I agonized over whether I should spend money on a Mount Blanc. ThenI convinced myself— after endless research that a Pelikan big boy would do. I saw this Pilot and read about it over and over again. Some said it might even surpass the Pelikan. The folks at Goulet took the time to help me decide that that just might be the case. I bought the F A nib. The nib and pen are amazing. The pen is light, so I’m trying to keep up with its dance across the page. Not a complaint; just a delightful challenge. Truthfully, I don’t think I’m missing out in any way for not having bought a status pen. This is easily a one and done for the right person.

Absolutely fabulous pen! Love the color! After much internal debate, a phone convo with a vey helpful person at Goulet Pens, and not a small amount of trepidation I purchased this pen with the Falcon nib and I am loving writing with it! Very helpful staff and quality shipping, too. Thank you, GP!
