I am still looking. The sj is 121 mm and has 2 button jewels. The sj transitional (The one I need.) is 118 and has one button and the barrel has none and is flat. If you have the sj transitional, I am interested. Thanks

I am sorry but it turns out that those pens have already been sold. Please accept my apologizes.

Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest.

That's the full size. I'm the current bidder on that.

 

My bad; after seeing "SJ" specified three times, I took the unspecified "black transitional" to mean non-SJ.

 

Good luck on your auction.

Hey, guess what I found in my box of pens today? It's not a toaster top, but I do have a last generation black tran SJ that I'm working on now. If you're interested, I'll post a pic when I'm done. It was really dirty. The cap was about the texture of 600 grit sandpaper.

 

Update - Here it is...

Thanks Gweimer, but I have that one. I'm looking for the sj demi (smaller that an sj).

I've never seen anything listed as an sj demi. Is that the purse pen?

For love of it. And yet not waste time either.

And I'm coming to SF. Meet me at the airport with the Maltese Falcon.

 

Corgicoupe, I don't know what the real name is. Any help out there on this question?

I have an SJ transitional. It is small. Loading up the skeet thrower.

Good luck in your hunt Larry. Just picked up my first transitional (a J) in blue.

 

I now have a transitional J (round jewel-blue), SJ (red), LJ-(black Bell Systems pen) and 3 J's (black, gray, green)

Good for you! Thanks, I'll need a lot of luck. They really are pretty, sturdy, and with the right (inexpensive) nib, good writers.

      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
