Pilot 743 / 823 FA Replacement Feeds Now In Red Ebonite

I have a small number of 743 / 823 FA replacement feeds available in red ebonite. As with black ebonite versions, these are available in two versions, 743ER, with 3 slit ink slot, and 743ENR, with two slit ink slot.

I was out of the red ebonite material for feeds, but I had an excess of red ebonite for housings, and repurposed some of that red ebonite to make these feeds.

Ebonite feed for Pilot Custom 743 ready for beta testers

I’ll be sending out some invitations to some of my Instagram followers tomorrow to participate in beta testing my new 743 FA ebonite feed.

Pilot 743 Feed in Design

This is a replacement ebonite feed for the excellent Pilot 743 pen, in particular, to support the full flexibility of the FA nib, shown below. This feed will become a standard product, along with the slightly smaller 742 feed, in black and red Nikko ebonite. I’m still tweaking the design, but it should be ready for beta testers by next week.
