PILOTNamiki Vanishing Point Gold Medium Nib w/Converter

Arrived within just a few business days, is a brand new 18k Pilot VP nib with included CON-40 converter, the same converter that comes with all VPs. Excellent purchase, the negative reviews here must not understand what they're ordering.

Beautifully made gold nib assembly that fits perfectly into Pilot Vanishing Point pens (and also as an upgrade into Majohn/Moonman A1 copies - Pilot patents expired a decade ago). Just a gorgeous writing experience.

Product photo clearly shows a Con-50 Converter - which is why I bought it.Product ships with an inferior Con-40 Converter instead.

Small capacity requires frequent refills. It's annoying. I decided to refill the ink cartridges rather than suffer with this converter.

Does not accept cartridges, contrary to other Namiki points I have, the pump is connected to the nib. The amount of ink is insanely small, I have to recharge every day.

some less then intelligent person used my pen one day when I left it on my desk. I have no idea how he did it but the pen would not write when he was done with it. This fixed it as good as new.

Nib was well packaged and arrived in a timely manner. The nib writes very well with a smooth ink flow. A positive experience with Pen Boutique and very pleased with my purchase.

I had a leak to develop in my VP a few months ago. This replacement nib was all I needed to get the pen back on track.
