Pilot custom 823 fountain pen used in excellent cond. Smoke resin (fine nib)

  

The nib is a fine in 14K gold and writes very well. To my eyes (which are not what they used to be tbh) this looks as it did when I bought it new see photos...

The imperfections you see are fibers from the polishing cloth. I'm clearly not a pro photographer. It came in a very simple box, which I did not keep. Here are the details from the Pilot website. As one of the most highly-praised fountain pens on the market, Pilot is pleased to offer the Custom 823 fountain pen in a NEW Smoke body color with gold accents giving the classic demonstrator style pen a bold, impressive look. Measuring nearly six inches long when capped, the Custom 823 is long in length, but remarkably well-balanced, making the fountain pen comfortable to use either posted or unposted. Combining a unique demonstrator style with a fun-to-use, vacuum filling system, the Custom 823 contains the largest ink reservoir from Pilot which holds 1.5ml of ink.
