Sailor 1911

[pc477]

Hi all

 

I recently purchased a Sailor 1911 that has a 14k nib and a rounded cap. All the 1911's i've seen on the net are 21k with flat cap, is this an old model? a copy?

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Regards

Sounds like a fake to me

Sounds like an older model to me.

 

Before the 1911, Sailor made a some what smaller pen with a rounded top and a 14kt nib called the Magellan. I would bet you have one of those.

Hey can you post your sailors nib picture? it will be easy to tell then.

I think you have the ols sailor pen with small rounded. DOes your nib has an anchor mark or just written 1911 on it?

FYI, the midsize 1911 comes with a 14K nib.

It's not a fake. I have not heard of a fake sailor. The 14k nibs come in the 1911m and sapporo series. Pictures would help to identify the pen, but rest easy that you will have a Sailor pen that you are going to love.

I agree. So far I have not heard of fake Sailor pens. I don't believe it is fake either. A photo of the pen will be helpful for us to identify the pen for you. Well, it may turn out that you are holding a much coveted pen in your hand.

Does it look like this one?

 

In Japan the base level 1911 (known as the Profit Standard) is cigar shaped and comes with a 14k nib. I could be wrong but I think that only the 21k version is available in North America.

Is the Profit Standard the equivalent to the full-sized 1911 or the 1911m?

 

I'm wondering the same question as the OP since I found a 14k nib purportedly for the [full-size] 1911, but I'm wondering why it is only 14k and not 21k? The nib/section unit seems to be the older model with the wider trim ring at the front of the section closest to the nib, as opposed to the thin trim ring near the threads on the current models. Also the nib has the simpler "Large Anchor" logo stamped on it instead of the one with the smaller anchor and double line border on the nib.

This previous thread has information about the models and sizes: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php?/topic/4085-sailor-1911/page__st__30__p__41236entry41236

The real name of the pens are not 1911 and 1911M:
1911 = Profit 21
1911 Color = Profit 2021
1911 M with 14k nib = Profit Standard
1911 M with 21k nib = Profit Standard 21
1911 M Color = Profit 1019

Thanks for the clarification!
