*ABOUT Pilot Super 150*
In 1958, the brand Pilot became 40 years old. At the time, the workhorse of the brand was the Supermodel, which came in a number of versions and sizes, from the Super 50 to the Super 500. And a Super 150 was released for the occasion. This was very special model which was only for Japan.the leading characteristic of these pens was the filling system—the quarter-switch device, called “hose system” in Japan. It is composed of a rubber sac covered by a metal sheath inside which there is a pressing plate operated by a small lever located on the top of the sheath. Small Super models, though, could not fit this system inside and implemented a much simpler pressing plate in the fashion of a traditional aero-metric device.

*Pilot 14K Gold Nib*
The nib it has is a very special nib, manufactured perfectly for Pilot super line. The size is not mentioned or marked on the nib itself, however from feeling how it writes and perform, it falls closest on the fine side.
The shape of the nib gives a strong sense of accuracy, a sort of visual allusion to a long, tapered arrow. In isolation, you can see it’s in fact quite short! The oblong breather hole and slender delta tine sweep help create this clever effect. The continuity of the mildly tapering section and ‘long’ nib give an agreeable sensation of precision control akin to writing with a recently sharpened pencil. Generally Pilot nib sizes run one size smaller than their western counterparts. Pen nib features gold plated and the flow is even and the nib is tolerant to variations in angle, in short the nib has a very large sweet spot. It is also a 14K Gold Fine Pilot Nib!
the 14K nib is in a fine condition and there is not much wear on the points. there are ink residue around the bottom of the nib. The nib is cleaned before shipping. there is no leakage, and the nib is a bit scratchy.
*Filling System: Sac Filler System*
This pen has a very interesting sac filler system. Old and vintage Japanese fountain pens, before the creation of cartridge and converter filler systems, used to rely on filler systems such as piston fillers, eyedroppers, and sac fillers. However, as time passed, innovations emerged to offer a more convenient way to fill a pen. This pen features one of Pilot's early innovations, the Pilot sac filler case, which eliminates the need for an outdated lever system that could detract from the appearance of the pen. No longer does one need a super-tight grip to prevent ink leaks, as the case serves as a substitute for outdated technology
To use the pen, simply unscrew the grip section from the body by twisting it.
Dip the nib into an ink well, then turn the knob located at the end of the filler case downwards and back to its original straight position. By turning the knob downwards and then upwards, the metal component inside the case will squeeze the sac, creating a suction mechanism
*CONDITION*
The pen is fully functional! has been polished and customized and repaired. the filling system is replaced with a brand-new rubber sac. While the pen is functional however the exterior of the pen is not in perfect shape. there are visible dents on the cap and scracthes and also a crack found on the grip section. Overall this pen is in B Tier
