£165.00 per item
A well-rounded fountain pen from Hiroshima Prefecture, honouring the foundation year of the Sailor brand.
The 1911 series was designed to honour the year founder Sakata Kyūgorō and his brother established the Sailor brand. It began with the construction of the Sakata-Manufactory to producing solid gold nibs, manufactured specifically for fountain pens to create a smooth and enjoyable writing experience.
The 1911 fountain pen uses the same high-quality materials and craftspersonship. The pen has a classic Sailor design, with rounded curves, an anchor emblem on the 14K gold nib, and a black resin body with a gold plated trim. The fountain pen accommodates both the Sailor cartridge and a converter filling mechanism for ink.
As a significant cause of malfunction in fountain pens is lack of use, during which ink can solidify, the maker recommends using the pen daily.
Clean the pen every 2-3 months.
