A fantastic value from Pilot, the Metropolitan is a favorite first fountain pen. This silver-colored metal bodied pen has a glossy silver accent band with dots, silver trim, and a steel nib. It comes with a black Pilot ink cartridge and a squeeze converter to use with bottled ink, or you can upgrade to a Con-40 converter if you prefer that style. It comes packaged in a gift box.

Great writer. Keep it with my travel writing supplies.
I bought 2 pilot metropolitan fountain pens, one fine, one medium. They're both great! From a complete beginner they're very satisfying to write with and easy to fill with the ink of your choosing using the optional CON40 converters. I highly recommend the pilot metropolitan from Truphae!
Item arrived quickly and was as described. Very pleased!
I am very left-handed and not all pens are friendly. I have a collection of all different Pilot pens and they all write beautifully. The Metropolitan is light weight, easy to hold and in my experience can sit for awhile and still write from the get go.
