My review of 4 inexpensive Pilot fountain pen models. The models include: the Varsity, Metropolitan, Explorer and Prera. The Varsity pens are in a pack of 7 with medium stainless steel nibs. The Metropolitan is made of brass with plastic and stainless steel accents; it has a medium stainless steel nib. The Explorer is all plastic resin with a fine stainless steel nib. The Preras both have stainless steel nibs - one is the calligraphy and the other is fine. My favorite of these is the Metropolitan but all are solid. However, my favorite Pilot remains the E95S which is also a great value at less than $100.

**Correction: The Procyon is made by Platinum NOT Pilot.

Thanks to everyone for the kind comments and for watching my videos.
