Pilot Custom 743 - Fountain Pen

Pilot is excited to (finally) announce that we are adding the coveted Custom 743 to Pilot Corporation of America’s Custom Collection. This gorgeous fountain pen comes in a black resin body with gold accents.

The #15 size, 14 karat gold nib comes in a wide range of 6 standard options: Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad, Double Broad and Falcon. Each nib has a unique, smooth and effortless writing experience.

In addition, 8 specialty nibs are now available from Pilot, including:

• Soft Fine (SF): This nib boasts a soft touch, making it perfect for fine lettering with a subtle flexibility.
• Fine Medium (FM): Striking a balance between Fine and Medium, this hard nib suits those seeking a versatile in-between option.
• Soft Fine Medium (SFM): A soft nib that bridges Fine and Medium, offering a delicate touch combined with versatility.
• Soft Medium (SM): Featuring a soft nib, this choice is great for producing medium-width lettering with added flexibility.
• Waverly (WA): Engineered with a slightly upturned tip, this nib delivers a uniquely flexible and customized writing experience, offering exceptional smoothness from any angle.
• Stub (SU): Highlighting a squared-off tip, this traditional italic nib creates broad vertical strokes and thin horizontal lines, making it ideal for calligraphy.
• Coarse (C): With an extra broad nib, this option produces extremely bold lines for a commanding presence.
• Posting (PO): Sporting a hard nib with a downturned tip shape, this choice creates fine, crisp lines with minimal pressure, preferred for writing on paper prone to feathering.

These specialty nibs are available on special order from the Pilot plant in Japan.  Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery.

The Custom 743 has the same size body as the Custom 823 but features a CON-70 converter or cartridge opportunity.

Whether planning on gifting this exquisite pen, or writing with it personally daily, the Custom 743 offers an unsurpassed writing experience that will delight fountain pen aficionados.
