Very interesting--thanks for posting this. 31,500 yen is about $333. Wonder how that compares with Japanese list price of current 1911 or Prof Gear.

The list price of ordinary 1911 or Prof Gear is 21,000 Yen.

Hmm, that price doesn't seem too bad. Wonder what the US street price will end up being.

Great news! Thank you! I might hold out for a Professional Gear or KOP Pro Gear version, though.

Thank you for posting the image. It's too bad the multiple ink windows didn't make their way onto the pen.

I hope the ink window will keep MB lawyers from starting lawsuits ...

Anyway, I hope there will be a flat-top piston filler, too.

I like the ink window being visible when the pen is capped and the double gold band around it.

It was about time for a Japanese maker to have a piston filler in the range.

Thanks for the information!!! Finally at long last, a piston filler Sailor 1911!!! The anniversary version was modeled on KOP correct? Not sure if Sailor will be launching the KOP version as well....Imagine a piston filler 1911 mounted with one of those Nagahara Togi emperor nibs...What a holy grail pen it will make !

 

Regards,

Roger

That's great news.

I hope there will be a rhodium trimmed version. If so, I'm getting it as soon as it hits the market.

I hope there will be a Prof. Gear/Sapporo shaped version sooner than later.

Yes, odd that they would start with the 1911 since it seems they've been focusing most of their efforts on the Sapporo/Pro Gear series (new finishes, materials, etc). There were even rumors that Sailor was going to discontinue the 1911 a while back.

Ah, pity that I live on the other side of the globe.

Please share your impressions when/if you see the pen.

      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
