New Sailor 1911 Anchor Grey Color

[OSF]

Do you know other pens with that color?

There was a Omas 360 gray, a bit darker.

Yeah it seems to be.

 

Kaweco SS Mint looks similar, but I'd need to see the pens together to be sure.

Ahoy,

 

"Two Vacumatic filled Parker "51" in Dove Grey and the more uncommon Navy Grey."

The 1911 Anchor grey may be lighter in color. These gray/blueish colors are notoriously difficult to photograph and reproduce correctly.

 

I think they need to add numbers like these to the pen:

Hahaha brilliant!

 

I think the uniqueness of the color is what have been attracting me in this pen. Would love to see it in person (or at least in some amateur and color-deceptive photos ).

I checked one. You're right...

Pilot makes a Prera in gray, but I'm not sure how close it is to the 1911 color.

There was the Sailor Procolor 500 in Beige that looked eerily similar to this 1911 Standard in Anchor Grey except for an exact color match. The Procolor 500 is a cheaper pen (around $45-$60 street price) that plays like a 1911 copycat but comes with a Fine (only) chrome-plated steel nib instead of a 14K gold alloy nib.

There is a post here on the FPN (link below) from June 2010 that shows the Procolor 500 in Beige. But it seems that today the beige color version is no longer being manufactured. From the Sailor Japan web page showing the Procolor 500 pens (link below), there are the currently four offered colors:

1. Stardust (Black Speckle)
2. Pink (Cherry Blossom)
3. Red (Mandarin Orangish)
4. Clear Blue (Demonstrator)

* Procolor 500 Shikisai Fountain Pen - Sakura (Cherry Blossom). $60 (ouch!) at JetPens:
