Pilot Justus Pen, Japan, 1970´s, the name "Justus" derived from the word "adjustable" because this pen features an unique adjustbale nib. The section has a rotating bezel that extend and retracts a 14K gold overbar on top of the nib. The system allows for a harder writing nib or a softer one. The cap and barrel have a fluted design, the clip has the keyhole design, and interestingly it is shaped to match the nibs overbar, Twisting the nib section in either direction determines the position of a gold piece on top of the nib which in turn controls how much the tines will flex. Even in the "hard" setting this nib has some springiness. In the "soft" position it is very flexible, and you will be able to get some nice calligraphic line variation with this pen. Nib: Nice 14K yellow gold iridium tipped, Fine point nib. Filling System Cartridge Converter filler. Cartridges included. Working Condition used but in excellent. When this pen first was released in the late 1970's, it was quite expensive, about three times more than the Murex pen.
