## Description

In honor of Sailor's foundation year the 1911 Series was introduced 25 years ago. It has maintained the high quality material and craftsmanship from the start. The smooth writing quality of the wide selection of 21K Gold nibs available for this model is a testament to the 95 years experience in writing instruments. This 1911 Large Black Fountain Pen has Gold accents with a traditional style polished resin body that epitomizes elegance and quality.

Review: An excellent everyday pen at a bargain price - I have been using fountain pens for years, and own pens from most manufacturers. This one was priced well below the norm for a gold nib (most in this price range have steel nibs). This pen is silky smooth on paper and lays down a perfect medium line. The ink feed is flawless, and the "large" size (as compared to other, smaller pens in the Sailor line) is a perfect fit for my rather ordinary hand. I would consider this as an ideal starting fountain pen for someone who hasn't written with one before; the ease of using the Sailor and absence of frustrations and glitches will win them over.
Review: Superb Nib! - I've owned over 20+ pens, both Japanese and European brands. This Sailor 21K nib is the best of the best right out of the box. It writes smoothly and comfortably. A little bit of feedback, as you would expect from Sailor or Platinum, but not scratchy. The Medium nib is juicier than I expected for a Sailor, but not a gusher, just the right amount of wetness. It just makes you feel addicted to writing. Highly recommended! Yes, it is a converter pen, not a fancy piston or vacuum filer, but I actually like it, because it is super easy to clean and change inks. If you need a reliable, workhorse pen that writes really really well, this is the one.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have some cartridges for Professional Gear fountain pen.  Would they fit on this pen?**
A: Yes. Sailor uses proprietary ink cartridges and converters, and they work on any of their pens that accepts ink cartridges.

**Q: what is converter for?**
A: A converter is used for bottled ink. With this Sailor pen you have the option of using Sailor ink cartridges or using a "cartridge converter". The converter fits in the pen where a ink cartridge would otherwise fit and can be filled with bottled fountain pen ink.

**Q: Is the Sailor 1911 Fountain pen available with fine  Nib ?**
A: Yes it is. In fact Sailor offers 7 different nib grinds for this pen. I don’t know if you can find them on Amazon all the time though or if ever.   That will depend on the sellers and what they offer. I was only able to find it recently as of Dec. of 2022, in medium grind. But I really liked the price and figured if I want to, in future, I can send it in to what is called a nib meister and have the nib ground to a different size and/or style. So I could, for instance, get a cursive italic grind, or thinned down to a fine. Extra money spent, yes. But still cheaper on a whole, with the price of the pen here and the nib meister’s new grind, than it is to purchase elsewhere. I hope this info helped you and gave a little more insight and info that you may be able to use in future. Take care. Cheers

**Q: How large is it compare to a Sailor Realo black fountain pen? Or are they same size?**
A: Hi,Yes, the Sailor Realo 1911 Full-Size fountain pen is the same size as the Sailor 1911 Full-Size, both have a length of 5.5" capped and a weight of 23.7 grams.Hope this answers your question.Kind regards,David H.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great deal
*by D***. on February 24, 2025*

This pen is a beautiful and eager writer. I use Sailor cartridges and refill them myself. But this pen writes smoothly with a wet line and is really outstanding. The M nib looks to me as a true medium. Wish there were more colors to choose from, but the classic black with gold combo is classic.
