Pre-owned Pilot Elite Japanese pocket pen. Pocket pens were popular in the late 1960s/1970s. When capped, the pen is short and easily carried in a pocket, purse or bag. When posted (the cap removed and posted on the end of the pen), the pen lengthens to a full-sized pen. The idea is genius and well thought out. Pilot nibs of this era are fantastic writers.

This pen is equipped with a 14K gold fine nib. Overall, this pen is in fair condition. The nib is not attached, the pen also shows heavy scratches on the grip section, a few light scuffs on the barrel, and some moderate discoloration near the top of the cap.
