Honouring Sailor’s foundation year, the 1911L (large) fountain pen marries an effortless writing experience with a classic design of rounded curves. The iconic fountain pen of Sailor features a glossy black resin barrel and cap, complemented by gold-plated metal details. The cap screws to open/close and can push to post onto the back of the barrel when writing. The Sailor 1911L comes with a Sailor proprietary converter as well as two proprietary Sailor Black ink cartridges. The Sailor 1911L (large) fountain pen uses a 21k gold nib and has a cartridge/converter filling mechanism. Sailor pens was established in 1911 in Japan, becoming the first to produce fountain pens in their home country. They have subsequently built a first-class reputation in the manufacture of the highest quality nibs, with all parts made in their own factory in Hiroshima. Their flagship collections are the classic 1911 and boldly designed Professional Gear, all available with a 14k or 21k gold nib. The Sailor name comes from founder Kyugoro Sakata’s British sailor friend who introduced him to fountain pens.
