Another item from Seller Amazon Japan on Amazon.com.  Free shipping to the United States.

 

Realos are the Sailor piston fillers with the larger, 21K nibs.  If I had to limit myself to one pen, it would be a Realo.  The gorgeous nib without the crappy Sailor converter, but a nice sized low mainenance piston filler instead.  And this is an outrageously good price!

Your link appears to be to a Profit (formerly known as a 1911), not a Pro Gear. Pro Gears have flat tops, this is a cigar-shaped pen. The rest of your post I agree with, I also prefer these piston filler versions to the cartridge/converter versions. The Profit Realo is the same length as the Profit L, and this does look like a very good price. I would be tempted if I didn't already have one.

Wow, that is a fantastic deal! I don’t love that it’s in black, I would prefer almost any other color, but for that price beggars can’t be choosers. Ordered one!

[james3paris]

Great find!

[lascosas]

Yep, I corrected the title to 1911 soon after I posted.  In Japan it is called the Pro Fit.

Thank got mine today.  I could not resist the 21K #6 nib. 

[langere]

They are great pens.  I got mine all the way back in 2005 and paid considerably more for it.

Rats.  I missed my opportunity.  It's now $180 to $230 USD now.  Too late!  But thanks for making this announcement!  I would've taken the plunge at $140 just to try it out!

You  may see it low again.   This seller drops prices often.

Same pen with a fine nib, same Seller, $163 free shipping.  If you were willing to try it for $139...this is only $24 more.  So long as you like Japanese fine nibs.  This is an awesome pen!

Thanks for finding this!  I'll mull it over.  I normally use a Montblanc F and EF, but a Japanese F might be too fine sometimes.

That's true.  And I've got a Pelikan M1000 coming too - thanks to you!

Japanese nibs F is normally like a European EF and the Japanese EF is like EEF.

That is the broad nib, at $169.  The above citation for the fine is still $163.

 

And you can't blame/thank me for the call out on the Pelikan 1000s.  That was James3Paris.
