That looks very similar.

prototype for this pen

No, I don't think so. The form looks different. I will try to ask Sailor directly.

It would be extremely unusual to find any prototype models in the wild. Some models assumed to be prototypes, limited or special editions were short-lived and did not make it into formal catalogues and should not to be confused with a real prototype.

 

There are prototypes in FPOJ. However, Mas Sunami has longstanding relationships with Pilot, Sailor, and Platinum that has allowed him access to these models. 

 

There are a good number of one of a kind models made by smaller makers especially in the 1930s, 1950s, and into the 1960s. Most recently Nakaya and Danitrio produced a few for sale. They are not prototypes.

It had a name: "Profit Long". People at the FB group "Fountain pens" knew/had it. This one is called Sailor Profit Long Mosaic, apparently.

And Sailor sent me the following information today:

The pictured pen was an LE from 2005 with the name "Long Mosaic 長刀 Fountain Pen".

Other Long Mosaic pens had a KCE (King Cobra Emperor), a King Eagle Emperor or a CKE (Cross Concorde Emperor) nib. There were other nib choices too - but they don't have the information anymore.

      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
