The Pilot Metropolitan Fountain Pen in Plain Silver brings everyday reliability and clean, modern style to your desk. Its weighted brass body and satin silver finish give the Metropolitan a comfortable balance and a quietly refined look that suits note-taking, journaling, and daily correspondence.
Craftsmanship & Design
A tapered silhouette, smooth snap cap, and unobtrusive trim keep the design streamlined and practical. The brass construction adds a reassuring heft without feeling heavy, while the subtle silver colorway pairs easily with any workspace or carry. Thoughtful proportions make it an easy transition for writers moving from gel or rollerball to their first fountain pen.
Writing Experience
The stainless steel fine nib offers a precise, tidy line characteristic of Pilot's Japanese nib geometry, ideal for smaller handwriting and paper with limited dry time. It starts consistently, handles everyday paper well, and rewards light pressure with smooth, controlled strokes. The Metropolitan uses Pilot's proprietary cartridges and is compatible with Pilot converters for bottled ink, offering simple maintenance and ink choice flexibility.

I purchased the medium nib. This is a wonderful pen! It has a surprising amount of weight but it is not bad (I use this pen unposted). It has handled the few times I've dropped it well (cap on, luckily). It is a very smooth writer. I found my shipment to be very well packed and Truphae has excellent customer service and the handwritten note is a very nice touch.
Awesome seller! 2nd purchase from them!!
Excellent
