The Pilot Custom 823 Transparent Brown is a stunning demonstrator fountain pen with a warm amber body that glows when held to the light — a more understated, sophisticated alternative to the clear version, and just as impressive to write with.
At its heart is Pilot's vacuum filling system, which gives the 823 one of the largest ink capacities of any fountain pen on the market. Pull back the plunger, submerge the nib, and release — filling the barrel completely in a single stroke. The transparent brown body shows off your ink colour beautifully, making it a perfect companion for Pilot's Iroshizuku range or any bottled fountain pen ink.
The 14ct gold nib is smooth, responsive, and available in a range of widths to suit every writing style:
- Extra Fine (EF)
- Fine (F)
- Medium (M)
- Broad (B)
Each pen is presented in an exclusive gift box and includes a 70ml bottle of Pilot Iroshizuku black ink — making it a superb gift for any fountain pen enthusiast.
