## About <!--about-->
The Pilot Hi-Tecpoint V7 in black is a liquid-ink needle-point rollerball pen with a 0.7 mm ball, sold as a single pen.[^amazon-us] It belongs to Pilot's Hi-Tecpoint V5/V7 range, whose ink regulator keeps the flow steady and whose barrel has a window showing the ink level.[^pilot-eu] Pilot is the brand of Pilot Corporation, Japan's largest pen maker, based in Tokyo,[^wikipedia] whose stub lists the GS1 prefix 4902505 this barcode carries.[^biro] Amazon.com lists this barcode with Pilot as manufacturer,[^amazon-us] and retailers in France and the Gulf print the same code.[^lesmandarins][^borders] Listings disagree on line width (0.5 mm or 0.4 mm) and on whether the pen is refillable, so both readings are kept in Specifications.
The 2006-2013 Barcodepedia site already carried this barcode as "pilot v7 hi tecpoint black".[^archive] Open Food Facts has a one-line record naming it a Pilot pen, with no photos.[^off]
