This is my first 1911L. I love it. I love the sailor 21k nibs but not a fan of the size nor weight of the pro gear nor the pro gear slims. I love the size and weight of this pen. The color is also gorgeous, and the pen writes buttery soft. Anderson Pens shipped the item very quickly. Thank you!
Beautiful pen. I'm not a huge purple fan so I'm pleased that this is more of a plum color (to my eye). Particularly like the black ion trim. I was a bit surprised to read the note on the warranty card that only Sailor ink allowed (others may attack the plating on the nib and would void nib warranty). Not a problem for me as Sailor offers more than enough ink colors for my taste. As others have mentioned it writes beautifully. I got the B nib and it gives a nice every day line weight (we're not talking Visconti or Pelikan here). For my tastes a very nice pen and a very good value.
