I HAD one of those about 10 years ago. Loved it. I don't know that it
was a Pilot, could have been. Then I dropped it on the floor and as I
moved my chair to pick it up, rolled over it and broke it. I was
crushed...come to think of it, we BOTH were.

Funny story. I was in sales and always used a MBlanc. Was meeting
with a really cool customer at Citibank HQ in NY. He looks at me and
says "I use fountain pens, but only to write important stuff."
Without missing a beat.."But Rich, EVERYTHING you're saying is
important to ME!"
It was the start of a long and lucrative relationship.
