Custom 823 Fountain Pen
Pilot · £315
Worth being NRY provisional
A vacuum filler, which is the rarest of the three systems and holds more ink than anything else here: you pull a plunger and the barrel fills in one stroke. The barrel is translucent so the level is visible, and the capacity is genuinely enough for weeks of ordinary writing. Three hundred and fifteen pounds buys a mechanism most makers stopped building decades ago.
- For
- Anyone who writes at length and resents refilling.
- Not for
- Somebody who wants to switch inks often. Flushing a vacuum filler is a job.
What we checked

Marked provisional: the justification rests on 1 source(s); two independent ones is the bar. We publish it anyway and say so, rather than waiting for evidence that may never arrive.
