The Sailor 1911 Realo fountain pen features a piston filling mechanism and an ink window that is visible even with the cap on, so that you can see how much ink is available before you take the cap off to use the pen. Based on the Sailor 1911 Large model, this pen holds a generous amount of ink. The smooth writing quality of the wide selection of 21k nibs available for this model is a testament to the 95 years experience in writing instruments. The pen is made of black resin with silver-plated trim and comes with your choice of 21k gold nib options, which are Extra-Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad, and Music. We try to always keep all nibs in stock at all times, but inventory changes daily.
As an Authorized Sailor Dealer we have the ability to order just about any of the seven standard 21kt nibs (Extra Fine, Fine, Medium Fine, Medium, Broad, Zoom, Music) on any 1911 Realo fountain pen. Some models do not carry all seven nibs and some are special order from Japan. Our stock changes constantly so if you have any questions, please Contact Us for more info!
The Sailor Pen company uses the concepts of RELiance And LOcus, and the first Realo was born in 2006 for the company's 95th Anniversary.

I had always wanted to add a Sailor piston filler to my collection but am not a fan of gold trim. When Sailor came out with the rhodium trimmed version I was happy to pull the trigger. Nice full sized pen and I love the crystal clear inkwell below the cap so I can instantly tell how much ink is in the pen. As always, the Sailor nibs are superb. My only problem is, which Sailor will be my next pen?
