The semi-opaque Pilot's Custom 74 Merlot is a classic demonstrator pen. Demonstrators were originally developed to allow salesmen to demonstrate the complex filling systems of early 20th century fountain pens. Modern cartridge-converter pens such as the Custom 74 are as easy to refill as a ballpoint, but the demonstrator has become a style of its own.
The Custom 74 utilizes Pilot's high-capacity CON-70 converter, which allows for filling with any bottled fountain pen ink. Convenient Pilot-Namiki cartridges are also available. The pen ships in a simple but attractive gift box, making it an excellent gift item. We are an authorized Pilot dealer.
