Look for a piece detailing some of the more interesting Pilots from that era sometime soon. There was lots of great stuff that they put out, and the surviving pieces are typically excellent writers with really good looks, to boot!

'Elite' inlaid in cap in silver script. I'm luvin' this pen. Feed is integral with section. 'Dragon Lady'18k/750 nib marked T1072, for I guess '1972' production. Barrel is marked 'MU II'. Nice removable 'aerometric' filler so I guess cartridges work too. Tiny 'gold' disc at barrel end. Wide gold band on cap lip and long, flowing gold colored clip with 'Pilot' at the tip. It snaps shut with a loud click. I'm happy with it. Just a 'yard sale' find so no real $ invested. I put black 'Diamine' in it and it's as happy as a little clam and puts down a clean, medium semi flex line that, with a little pressure shades to semi-medium broad and my hand writing's not that good.
