Ebonite/urushi Pens From Sailor

[mke]

Has there ever been a full ebonite/urushi pen from Sailor in the Professional Gear series?

Or even in the Profit Series (the 1911 series) below the KoP ebonite.

 

A pen comparable to the Pilot Custom 845 or Pilot Custom Urushi.

Yes! There is a red-black ebonite in Pro Gear standard (large) size. I have seen it. If I recall correctly, it was slightly longer than the regular large (non-KoP) Pro Gear. Brian Anderson of Anderson Pens owns one. It may also have been available in a smaller size too. Not sure of its model name or number.

there has been at least one shop limited edition of the Profit 21/1911L in ebonite that I remember

As Brian Gabay sez, Sailor made a PG red-black ebonite (though not urushi lacquered). It came with gold or silver trim. The model # for the gold trim with F nib is 11-9616-223. They called the material 'marble ebonite'. A description of the one in silver with photos can be found in the archives section at nibs.com:

What's the definition of urushi here? If you're strictly referring to plain urushi on ebonite base like 845 and custom urushi. Then there's none for regular profit model, and flat top model in any size.

But if you're referring to pens with ebonite or urushi finish. Then there're many ebonite based profit, KoP and regular PG models. I don't know any PG model in ebonite made in KoP size.

For plain urushi finish, I think it's only found on KoP models.

And I recommend compiling all Sailor questions in one thread, rather than opening a thread for each question.
