PILOT BUDDHIST SCRIPTURES

The Buddhist Scriptures, or Hyomon Scriptures pens were a series of Custom pens from the early '70. They were lacquer coated with little gold leaf kanji characters. They came in three varieties that I've seen; red urushi background, black urushi background and sterling silver.

This pen has been used but is in excellent condition. It has an 18k Fine nib

PILOT BUDDHIST SCRIPTURES

STERLING SILVER

Here is one of Pilot's Hardest to find pens. The Buddhist Scriptures in hand-engraved sterling silver. The pen is in the same design as Pilot's most popular maki-e pen, the Hyomon Scriptures pen.

 this pen, instead of being lacquer coated with little gold leaf kanji characters, this pen has the kanji characters deeply engraved into the silver.

Only a few hundred of these were ever made and never released,They were given away to executives.

The pen is based upon Pilot's Custom line that was released in the late 1960's. This pen is a little latter, probably around 1975.

The nib is 18K Medium White Gold and it goes well with the sterling barrel and cap.

Original MYU 701 (introduced in 1971)

Original Murex MYU 701 
model number: M-350SS

The first Murex appeared in 1971, and was called the "MYU 701" in Japanese and identified by the Greek letter for "m" in Pilot's advertisements. Its model number is M-350SS. This pen is displayed in the Pilot Pen Museum (now called "Pen Station") in Tokyo. This one of those ingenious Japanese short style pens with long cap and short barrel that made the pen short when capped, and full size when the cap was posted. It was an extremely streamlined design with no markings anywhere except for the small Pilot name engraved on the cap. There is also a tiny date stamp with month and year on the barrel.

This model is considered the quintessential MYU/Murex, and therefore the most popular model today. It has also been called the "ultimate travel pen" because of its small carrying size as well as its sturdiness and reliability. ( thanks to Russ Stutler for this information)

LONG MUREX RED TRIM

In 1978 Pilot came out with a slim, slightly shorter version of the long type Murex, this time with a red stripe and logo. It retailed for 5,000 yen. This versionwas more expensive and rarer than the regular black trim version.

VOLEX

Pilot also produced during the same period, pens which were nearly identical to the MYU 701, but with the nib separate from the barrel. One line was marketed as the plastic MYU, and had a matte black cap and barrel. Other colors were also available. A steel version of this was called the Volex, the "Brother of MYU." There were also some steel and plastic fountain pens which resembled the long Murex except for a brightly colored plastic grip separating the steel nib from the barrel. These variations are appealing to those who are drawn to the asthetics of the MYU/Murex design.
