Hey guys, I need help with identifying this Sailor pen that I found stored somewhere at home. It says 'Sailor Since 1911' on the cap band and 'TIGP Sailor' engraved on the nib with an M on the wings. Thank you in advance! :)

And you found this 'stored at home...'

 

*dies of envy*

 

;)

 

It will be a wonderful writer for you.

 

 

Ha! Pretty much what I said elsewhere!

 

Profit is Sailor's most common model. Seek and ye shall find...

 

I actually found this out on the balcony in a pile of junk :lol: nib is slightly springy and quite smooth

Hum... I'm not sure that Sailor is still producing these nibs...

 

I haven't seen a nib like this on newer models as well :unsure:

Titanium nibs???

TiGP nibs are found on the cheaper models not sure why... I think it's better to say they are steel TiGP nibs but if Sailor did make Titanium nibs during the war then...

the nib found on the sailor profit young/somiko

my mistake about the reglus despite it bearing the same nib profile but it has different markings

      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

      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
