The same pen, Sailor 1911 Standard, is in Japan called the Sailor Profit Standard.  It comes in either a 14k or 21k nib.  Below is the Amazon listing for the 21k version, EF nib.  I bought it this morning for $99.80, Prime:

That's a very good deal! 👍

I got one of the 1911’s and absolutely love it! This was my very first Sailor pen.

@A Smug Dill knowing your affinity for Sailor and for good deals, that's reaffirming.

 

@Carguy glad to hear!

I also note that Amazon has some good prices on the Pro Gear regular (meaning larger) size, fine nib.  Those only come in 21k nibs, which are larger than the slim.  As I write this there is even a Watrehouse for $141.

As long as you're aware it's not a brand new pen:

 

[lascosas]

Yes,

The world of Amazon Warehouse. By definition anything returned to Amazon and resold is 'used' and listed under their Warehouse category.  But it is a complete throw of the dice.  You never know what will arrive. 

 

I have bought over 100 warehouse fountain pens over the years.  90% of the time the pen is perfectly fine.  Often the problem, if there is one, is with the box, which I never keep, so I don't care.  Most of the time the pen has not been used.  But particularly for high end pens, Amazon has a problem with people returning a cheap Chinese pen and keeping the expensive one they purchased.  This is particularly a problem with Parker.  Buy a Warehouse Duofold, Premier or Deluxe gold nibbed Sonnet and there is a good chance you will receive a Chinese knock-off Sonnet. 

 

I am okay with this because I am in the US and simply return the pen if there is a problem with it.  Amazon makes that easy and free.
