Sailor 1911L Ringless Galaxy Fountain Pen - Andromeda
The stars have aligned at Sailor to bring forth the next stellar offering, the "1911 Ringless Galaxy" collection. The new ringless addition to the Sailor line is the size of a Sailor 1911L, but without the metallic ring at the base of the cap. This design creates a simple elegance that draws your eyes to the beautiful color of each pen.
Available exclusively outside of Japan, this new Sailor 1911L fountain pen features a brown lustrous metallic resin barrel and cap with silver shimmer throughout. It is complemented by black ion-plated accents, and comes equipped with Sailor's legendary black ion 21k gold nib in a variety of nib sizes.
The cap screws to open/close and can push to post onto the back of the barrel when writing. The 1911L comes with a Sailor proprietary converter as well as two proprietary Sailor Black ink cartridges.
Note: Sailor notes that the ion-plated nib should only be used with Sailor inks to avoid damage. While we have tested these nibs with other inks, we do recommend using Sailor inks if you wish to maintain the 1 year manufacturer warranty.
