This dragons raised etched pattern is one of the original designs when Pilot announced their Art Craft Silvern range of pens in 1969 with large 18k “Signature” nibs. In 1972 the range was revised with a gold-plated clip and barrel band, which dates this pen. The “Signature” nib is a broadish medium point and a smooth writer. This pen has what Pilot refers to as its “Knob Filler”; actually a better description is a “switch-filler”, pressing the “switch” compresses the sac and draws in the ink. This design dates from the late 1950’s. It works very well. (Art Craft pens at this time were also fitted with a plunger and can also take cartridges.)

The pen is in excellent condition and comes with the velour-covered presentation case, outer card sleeve and instructions.
This early pen in the Art Craft series is relatively rare now and a fine example of the range.
