At 135mm and having a lockdown filler I'm thinking it is an Oversize. The Major and Maxima models weren't introduced yet. It could also be a Standard, but I believe the Standard was usually shorter than that.

 

If the nib is 18kt, I wonder if it was made for the French market.

Also i've notice the feathers on the nib, 9 of them. Also the 3 rings on the cap is not like wide band from Maxima. Maybe a Oversize.

My oversize is 135mm X 14mm, lock down and three rings. A Maxima would have one wider than a major or standard cap band, speedline filler and would have the same length but narrower, about 13mm wide.

 

The nib on my oversize is monochrome and has 10 feathers. The Maxima is two tone with nine feathers. Both are 14k.

nice pen :thumbup:

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

135mm long, nine segments in the fletching, a lockdown filler and three cap rings? It's an Oversize.

 

The cap will be 15mm wide and the nib will be a dream!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
