Nothing said but it really looks expensive.

Gripping Section: PMMA Resin.  Bummer.  It's a Sailor thing.

Plugged the text into a translate app, and it lost me when it said "lacquer" -- which I suspect means "urushi"....  And that means I wouldn't buy the thing if it cost 2 cents....  I just can't take the risk.

Also the cap makes it look really top heavy....

Glad to see them try something new.   I always find it funny how most Sailor pens designs are not daring at all yet they offer some wild specialty nibs.

 

Hope the pen is great and ends up a success - after all they are running out of color combos for the 1911 😛

I asked: the pen base is ebonite, onto which the silver foil and urushi is applied. Detailed explanation, see the original page at Sailor.

And I found a price in Europe: ~ 2000 Euro.
