Pilot MR1 Metropolitan Collection Fountain Pen, Fine Nib, Smooth Ink Flow, Mid Range Consistent Lettering, Ideal for School & Craft Use - Silver Plain

The pen uses a Fine nib that produces slim lines, typically around 0.3–0.5 mm depending on ink and writing pressure. It’s ideal for forms, small spaces, and neat signatures.

Key specs include a Silver Brass barrel for balanced weight and control, a Smooth ink feed for consistent writes across pages, clean-dry behavior for neat drying, and refill compatibility with Pilot cartridges and CON-40/Con-B converters.

This pen accepts Pilot cartridges and the CON-40 or Con-B converters, so you can use Pilot ink cartridges or bottled ink via a converter.

Two options: 1) Cartridge filling: remove the cap, insert a Pilot cartridge into the grip until it punctures and seals, then write to begin ink flow. 2) Converter filling: attach a CON-40 or Con-B converter, submerge the nib into bottled ink, twist the converter to draw ink into the converter, wipe excess, reinsert, and start writing. When switching between inks, flush between colors to prevent bleed-through or clogging.

Yes, it’s designed for daily writing and school use. It uses standard fountain-pen inks and metal components typical of school-grade pens. If there are nickel or metal allergy concerns, check the specific material details and inks you plan to use, and avoid chewing or swallowing ink.

Regular maintenance helps: rinse the nib and feed with lukewarm water when switching inks or if ink flow slows; dry thoroughly before refilling; avoid leaving ink in the pen for extended periods; store capped and upright to prevent leaks.

If you’re not satisfied, you can typically initiate a return within the store’s standard window for pens (items must be in unused condition with original packaging). Always review Fepy’s return terms for eligibility and any time limits.

Yes. The MR1 Metropolitan in Silver Plain combines a balanced brass barrel, reliable fine-nib performance, and flexible refill options (cartridges or converters). Its mid-range price point makes it a practical choice for daily writing, long-term use, and easy ink switching without sacrificing build quality.

Nib replacement and compatibility depend on Pilot’s design. The MR1 typically uses standard Pilot nibs, but not all nibs are interchangeable between models. If you’re seeking a broader nib range, verify compatibility with Pilot’s official nibs or consider a different Pilot pen in the MR/metropolitan lineup that supports nib swaps.
