Or should I say "new collector of Japanese FPs? I am a long time collector of pre-war Sheaffer and Parker 51 fountain pens, but recently have fallen into a state of lethargy about pens. Then I rediscovered, among the few "modern" pens I own, a slim Pilot, the only Japanese pen I've ever written with. I filled it with PR velvet black and remembered why I bought it. I immediately hopped on Stan's Japanese pen sale and bought two more.
My question is this... did all 1970's vintage Japanese C/C fountain pens use the same style cartridge, and if so, are they still available? My Pilot (unknown model) has a permanent aerometric style filler, but I think most of the Japanese pens from the sixties and later were C/C fillers. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
