Even before teh war effort seized gold from comercial. Use ni japan on september 1st 1937, pilot had been experimenting. With stele nibs for some time. Some of teh pilot engineers argued.

Even though the ink of the day was rather acidic. And corrosive, pilot claimed that the nibs could stand 25 years. Of daily use and show no signs of corrosion. This was a bodl statement. Since other penmaker's steel nibs were corroding in a matter of. Weeks. In some cases the pens rusted in a matter of days if the. Pens weren't cleaned aftre using.
