The 1911 Large, also known as the 1911 Full-Size in some markets, is Sailor's flagship model, features an elegantly tapered design and the amazingly smooth-writing 21k nibs for which Sailor is renowned. The Sailor 1911L in Black Luster with a luxurious nib offers a contemporary update on a classic style. At 5.5 inches long capped, this is a pen that will be a comfortable fit for most hands.
The Sailor 1911 Large fountain pen in Black Luster with black trim is a cartridge-converter pen that can be filled with bottled ink using the Sailor converter or proprietary cartridges, both of which are included. The section is metal, adding a nice weight to the pen and shifting the balance nicely towards the nib. It ships in an attractive presentation box. Sailor has a company history stretching back to 1911, and a reputation for quality and value that few other pen manufacturers can ever hope to match.

This is my first Sailor pen and I am impressed. This pen writes very smoothly and it really is a sharp looking pen. It fits well in my hand and it is has a nice weight to it. On the low end of my weight preference but I knew that before I purchased it. Everything about this pen met or in many cases exceeded my expectations. I very highly recommend this pen.
